If you add different injectors then perhaps they could be seen if the technician snoops around the injector cover, so you could consider swapping the stock injectors back in on smog day and switching to a CARB tune. If you have an aftermarket tune then they won't know. If you add flex fuel then they will see the lines, so you would have to pull that and put 91 back in on smog day. In theory, you could add a FMIC (if you didn't want the air to water setup) or closed-loop catch cans, and those are CARB exempt.
thanks guy, someone actually trying to just give me info, instead of some bitchy snarky comments.

yea thats the plan, it was just to just run the kit but the tune would be alot more aggresive. the e85 flex fuel i could always take off before i go smog it.
