Anyone know of any shops around that will install a turbo kit on my xb? i havent bought it yet but when i do i wanna know because i would rather not do it myself if they can install it and tune it on a dyno. Im actually interested in this kit http://turbo-kits.com/xA_xB_turbo_kits.html What needs to be tuned and how is this kit? any problems and is there a way to pass smog with it on therE? thanks in advanced guys.

 

It should be able to pass smog.If a Ford lightning,which uses a Supercharger,should pass smog why not a turbo.They only force air into the intake using your exhaust.I imagine your gonna have to mod the car's Comp to make it run correctly.But smog wise I think you will pass.

 

hmm, i dont think so cause a lightning has SC as a factory option and just because of that its legal. if i put a turbo on myself that doesnt have a carb eo # (for california) then i wont pass.

 

yep, it's all about the carb crud, it wont pass the visual inspection, just like an intake it's gotta have the carb sticker.

 

You can always offer a little bribe to the smog guy.I myself live in Corona and I took my truck to Santa Ana,alot of bribe takers,and my modded dodge ram passed in a heartbeat.I am pretty sure there are other turbo kits out there,some with a carb eo #.But I am pretty sure you will pass.You can always install it and take it to a test center and try.

 

hey i live in corona too, thats tight
