Other companies have released MY17+ CARB kits/updages and/or have updates like how JRSC has released a CARB C38 SC alongside the C30. It just seems that Harrop isn't working at all on CARB approval.

From what I understand, the smog law changed from 6 to 8 years, so if I understand this correctly the 2013-14-15-16-17-18-19-20 years of my car will not require smog. In the fall of 2020, my registration for 2021 should include a notice to smog the car, so I have one more year to enjoy this kit.

I agree that moving to the JRSC might be a step back from the Harrop, but I am not a fan of the Edelbrock kit, even though it uses the same Eaton TVS 1320 SC. The JRSC seems to have better reliability/less issues, unless I am mistaken, and there are no issues with the Edelbrock kit.
Wouldn't hold your breath. From the source via their contact forum over THIS weekend.

A new submission was made on the Harrop.com.au website. Please see

Is HARROP still pursing CARB certification for North America, specifically on the BRZ/GT86 TVS setup? In 2020 the first generation of car will be up for smog and many members are going to have to be removing the supercharger and returning to stock as of now. Regards, -K
