There is no such thing as a CARB legal high flow cat anymore.

Basically, we're screwed because there's a cat in the exhaust manifold, and screwed again by the second cat in the front pipe. If someone figures out how to bolt a turbo onto the factory exhaust manifold and then plumb the downpipe to the factory front pipe then it's possible. Otherwise, not happening.
Ptuning's turbo can use the stock stock manifold if u want. AP might too.
