To each his own.

 

Yep, my car looks bone stock and I am sure people laugh at it. I dont care to make it flashy. We all have different reasons for our mods...some for speed, some for show. My car wont run 14s btw. I will have the first 12 sec XB. Stay tuned...

 

I just looked at the scionlife registry and counted 8 x/b's with a turbo and 10 with a supercharger. So people are going to buy and run these even if they are not carb legal.
My point is keep it on the down low so you get to enjoy your poweradder, not to get pulled over and fined and have to remove it.

I understand that in cali you don't have to smog untill your new box is 5 years old. So untill then enjoy the extra power then take off your turbo maybe sell it or take it off smog it then put it back on. But then again how many of us will still have our box 5 years from now. Not me by that time I will have moved on to the next car to build up and and will be finished buying aftermarket parts for my box.

 

there is no such requirement or rule of producing too much power. if everything passes visual/functional and you pass the tailpipe you could make 10 times the power and still be all good.

if you are making 10 times the power it will be about 99% impossible to pass tailpipe but hey .


and i hate how people buy cars , dump money into them , get tired , sell them, losing lot's of money and buy new cars.

i plan on keeping this car for as long as possible.

i've had it for two years and aren;t nearly halfway tired with it yet.

different strokes i suppose.
