Anyways I was looking over the SRT-4 performance parts and man do I drool alot (They released the stage 3R turbo?) well i have a few questions...
1) The stage 1 Turbo... Is it legal here in California?
2) Is the Blow-Off Valve Conversion Kit legal here in California?
part two of 2) I saw some dude driving a VW I think it was a gti or a golf with one... or something.... It was a making that sweet ass *pssh* between shifts and It made me tear up... I saw him use it for the past 2 weeks until this morning.... I was waiting for him to do his shifting but he did... nothing.... I thought to myself "I guess he took it out for some reason..."
Anyways... I check out the performance stuffs on the site and they all seem to say:
* Not legal for sale on pollution-controlled vehicles or vehicles registered for highway use.
at the bottom of the Turbo upgrades, Ionno, im confused beacuse ive heard only Stage 2 and up is illegal... I really would like Stage 1's and a Blow off valve T_T...

#1 NO
#2 NO
NONE of the Stage X Upgrades are legal in CA. Do cops know what to look for, NO. Will stage I and II pass the emissions test, YES.
So honestly it's up to you. The only way a cop will know is if he hears. If he asks you to rev up the car, your ****ed.
Check out page 8 of "What mods do you have done?"
I've been running those mods for 2 years now, pulled over twice, and the cops don't have a damn clue. Granted all of my mods are done EXTREMELY well by myself, and I chose to hide as much of everything as I could for legal reasons.
Also, I suggest to EVERYONE here in CA, get a copy of the smog check station technician handbook and emissions books, and learn what you can get away with!
PS: If your gonna race, take it out on the track. No sense in yet another 16yr old screwing my insurance rates cause they can't drive.
