Like you want to put a turbo on the s2k? Its not tough if you want to stay CARB legal. Just purchase the Greddy turbo kit and you're good to go.

There is a CARB compliant version of the FlashPro which will allow some selected tuning (other versions are "off road only"). Need a '06 or later.

I'm considering that. Coming from South Carolina, Kentucky, Iowa, I've always been able to do whatever the hell I want with my car - the only restriction being money
This is very weird for me. I was planning to get an s2k and get enough boost to feel risky after selling my 600 hp 300zx TT. I figured I'd just have to detune for emissions.
I see I was horribly wrong! Still reading into things. But spool sound and a tame BOV were on my to-do list for an s2k...
At this point, I'm thinking I need to get out to some meets, first.

I'd like some credit for the alley-oop I set up, there. This isn't my first car forum

So the thing about California is kinda more, the only real restriction is money, it just requires more of it. Like i commented on your other post this car has a ton of potential for power. There are ways around the required smog check every two years, and as long as you arent driving like an idiot or have a straight piped exhaust most cops wont pull you over and do an inspection. My S2k is fully decked out with a big wing, aftermarket wheels, and aftermarket exhaust and i still havnt been pulled over.because my exhaust isnt super loud and i dont drive like an idiot. Even if i was pulled over however my engine bay is 100% stock so they could only get me for speeding (which i dont do).

There are plenty of people here in the east bay who are running superchargers or turbo's and putting closer to 400whp on 91. I myself might be going the turbo route myself in a few years.
