Default Boost in CA
Anybody on here living in California and boosted? Seeing a boosted civic around here is a rare sight for me. Is it because its hard to pull off without gettin pulled over and impounded?

Yeah i know i'll fail emissions if i boost, there's ways around that though. I'm just trying to assess the probability of getting popped for it.

if you have an illegal kit, they will get you. just stick to a carb legal kit. the no hassles is worth it.

From what my mech said and what I understand, you can tune a car to pas any emissions test.

Damn, that would be cool to see. I'm just planning on a street tune though. Wouldn't it be quite expensive to have a tune that good pushing 15 pounds legally?

no, its just gonna take some time because you cant just roughly tune it you have to precision tune it with the right software

not true. you can tune it to pass (almost) any sniffer test. we also have to pass a visual emmisions test. meaning they look for added parts, and a turbo kit is hard to hide.
