Turbo kits = A/C delete?

Right, in CA. But there are tons of people passing scan-only checks (i.e. 96+ cars).

Of course, emissions concerns are not the top priority of most F/I guys here. Making boost is.

Even if you get all the parts yourself and it doesn't end up costing 5-6 GRAND (it will trust me i've looked), if you live in a state that has smog regulations (not safety checks there is a difference) -- your car WILL FAIL SMOG with a custom turbocharger on it.

Trust me I know. Any turbo I slap on my car will instantly make it illegal to drive on the street. or in the state of CA for that matter. make sure you do research beforehand.

No problem here. No smog checks in my neck of the woods. [img]smile.gif[/img]

If FFF can put out a kit where they have done no fabricating (Although they did in the end) for $3000, what makes you think it should be more than that? Even upgrading a lot of things still wouldn't have put me over $4k. If you were qouted 5 or 6k for a custom job then someone was trying to take you for a ride.
