You have 2 solutions:
1. Go to used car lot and talk then into it. Dont be an idiot b/c if they suspect you are a cop they wont help. Used car lots always have these connections and dont tell them how your car is modded. Just say it is stock and has a lot of mechanical issues. You will end up paying anywhere between $150-$300. Anything more is a ripoff. They dont even need your car; just your VIN and your mileage and car info.
2. Call this guy: 323 707 7942. Ask for Jay. I got his # off Honda Tech and he has a reputation there. He allegedly passes your car as a propane powered car LEGALLY and it would cost approx $400. See what he can do for you. I do not know how well this works.

Well you could install it yourself. Than just get good at installing/uninstalling. I mean its what 4 hours tops for a bolt on kit just gotta cap the return line for the oil, throw your stock ecu in. Sounds like a pain but you only would have todo it every 2 years and the rest of the time you can enjoy your turbo s.
I was talking to Bill from I speed he has a 99 2.5rs impreza with an STi engine. His car passes smog with flying colors and it passes visual and he just goes to a regular test only place.
