Is it assumed that if you get a turbo, you also get an aftermarket ECU?

Ok this is the way it was explained to me and folks I am no expert and you need to check with your local law enforcement agencies or at the very least SEMA. Many states have adopted more stringent rules regarding modifying a new vehicle that has ULEV and LEV status. When you do modify especially with something as permanent (simple bolt on my ass, how long is it going to take to install and remove) as a turbocharger. You are changing the emissions status of the vehicle. That alone will fail you in many states. That's why you need the CARB approval certification. It's more of an EPA thing.

So I guess what I am saying is that it is up to you to take the chance. Hell some states don't even check emissions right and there are ways around everything anyway. So don't worry about legality worry about warranty.

Have you noticed that the "street legal" turbo kits do not include BOV? the bov is releasing some nasty stuff into the atmosphere and no turbo kit will get a CARB number w/ it. You will not pass smogs w/ a turbo kit, especially the visual. I`ve owned two turbo`d hondas that have been smogged but it involved a friend and a couple hundred bucks.
