Well I have just about enough money to get my turbo kit and I am planning to get it in Aug when I get back from England. My question is for anyone who has to get there car smogged and has a turbo on it especialy people in Cali cause the smog tests suck here. I am kinda worried cause I have to get my car tested in october.

Well I got my emissions tested a few weeks ago and I passed with flying colors... But I live in Maryland, not CA. There are usually two tests here...one with the car idling, and one at crusing speed in the top gear. I did the idling test, but the people there said my car was too low and the wheels were too wide for me to do the high speed test, so I got out of that one...

heheheh don't you love socali!!! You should have it smogged before installing your turbo kit. after that, you are covered for 2 years before your next test. Another member on this board got his passed at a "friendly" shop over here in riverside. There are plenty of those shops around here so no worries. Just need to have money..

Hmm well the visual you'll fail for sure. The sniffer is another question. If you have a cat most likely you'll pass. Yeah find a shop that'll let you slide on the smog test. Ask around or get a hook up or something.
