If your car is bought brand new, you don't need to smog it for 6 years. You can technically run those turbo kits but it will still be illegal. If you get caught (as in pulled over and have your engine checked for illegal modification), you can get fined A LOT for it. For anything to be considered CARB legal in Cali, the kit can't modify any component that consist of a cat converter and also can't produce over a certain amount of emission.

My example of a turbo charger is .... "VTEC on drugs". It's a bunch of power that hits you at a certain RPM when your turbo is fully spooled. That's a simple explanation assuming you know what VTEC is. If you want more info, there are plenty of threads out there on Google that can go more indepth than what I can explain atm.
