Installing aftermarket parts that are not emissions legal in California has a maximum fine of $5,000.

Yeah, since it is intended for daily driving and not track use, I'll have to go CARB legal. I talked to two guys recently at a local meet who have supercharged FRS's. Seems like the way to go and to get the much needed low end torque the car lacks.


Looking at TRD, Edelbrock, and Jackson Racings right now. Fingers crossed the stock internals hold up with the boost! New thread with the finished product should be up in a few weeks.


Located in NorCal btw
