It's worth mentioning, we have pistons for the xA/xB available right now, and we'll have other internals soon.

the car is a beast we got the fueling issue resolved and we are boosting 8 psi out of the EVO III GT 16g the clutch is slipping pretty bad we are having one overnighted from C/M and we should be on the dyno by the end of the week. I am telling you this thing rips. I have not been this excited since Keisha said she would marry me...HHEHEHE

There is nothing like a stupid looking mustang driver getting wastegate in his ear as you pass him in your box I lover this thing.

power/ weight ratio must be nice.

I've got the lack of weight, but power sucks

I can't give you an estimate on price until I know exactly what we're going to use on the kit.

Ha ha, yeah changing the law might be easier than finding you a job that good and that easy, but i'll check. Just call Arnold and get it changed, and if he says no tell him "I'll be back". Sorry i had to go there.

Yes, we'd eventually make the money back, but the expense that it takes up front to get CARB approval is just huge.

it's about 30-35k at least that's what I've been told by a few buddies who make parts for a small company. BUT . if you are in the minority of companies that is carb approved A good lot of people looking for a turbo in cali will spend extra money to be legal , then spend less to be illegal or be dissatisfied with their car and buy nothing.

the sad/messed up part is the vast majority of simple/ daily driver goal oriented parts aka , intakes , headers , turbo's , sc's if designed somewhate conservatively will pass smog. MANY many HIGHLY modified turbo kitted buddy's civics fail visual for no carb yet pass the sniffer . which in all honesty is the important part.

I want clean air too but this state is being unfair to parts that are smog compliant even if not carb compliant. it's sad and horrible.
