anyone done a smog legal turbo set u here in cali that will bass smog with a 350 if so how because im intrested in the idea but dont know where to start, its a new motor build too so im starting from the bottom

 

not possible. no one makes a smog legal turbo, so even if its clean out the pipe and you have all the emissions fuctioning properly you would fail visual. you could try and find someone who would pass it but their hard to find and expensive.

Goodluck with your turbo project and be sure to post pics

 

Its possible, but it would have to be a rear mount.

 

sts rear mount turbo is the only kit that has a carb number

 

They have a CARB# for the '04 GTO only. It doesnt cross over to any other vehicle, including thirdgens.

The only way to get a turbo setup on a thirdgen is to live is an area that doesnt do visual smog checks (the boonies of CA).

This map will tell you where you need to move:

It's possible and it can be done legally. And I mean smog legal. And to top it off, it's going to be a TWIN TURBO L98. Okay, what conversion would that be? It will still need to get the BAR label when done. It will be legit. Anyone knows the conversion? I know!.. I'll let you guys think about it.

 

Callaway

 

87-91 Sledgehammer

 

THAT'S IT! Convert it to Callaway Corvette Spec then go get it certified at the referee then you're set.

 

I love the idea of using a turbo and a small c.i tpi v8, its a nice way to seperate yourself from the rest of the crowd and I'm sure can make great numbers. It's a shame it can't be done easily and more legally.
What size turbocharger is typical for 305 tpi's ?

what if i get the sts carb no make a sticker that looks legit and put it on the car, doesnt the tech only look for the no. he doesnt run it does or does he

 

They are suppose to check the CARB EO# to see if it's approved for the year and model. Right now, if you want turbos, you need to transplant a Callaway SledgeHammer set-up. That's the only way to get it legally until an aftermarket is available that is CARB approved of course. Why not go with a Vortech SC? I know they may not be as efficient as turbos but hey are CARB approved.

 

or a procharger

 

yeah i may look into super, but turbos sound bad ***

 

Yeah like r!cer bad...

If you just want the sound of a turbo why don't you go and buy one of those super cool exhaust tips that I wouldn't even put on my lawnmower.

 

Nothing beats the whine of a good S/C

 

rear mount..
