I'm not trying to be argumentative, I literally just don't know. I'm going on the high-level assumption that using flex fuel = lower emissions, but I have no idea how forced induction affects that assumption in practice.

Carb only applies to CA. CARB=California Air Resource Board. I do our emissions certifications at work. For carb it would have to be a carb certified setup. So unless the manufacturer is going to pay for the testing($$$) and apply for the cert there isn't such a thing. It would also be a locked tune due to that.
The only way to know in your area is to run the car at an emission test facility and see if it passes.
