The only way I see a CARB legal turbo kit happening is if it is a true rear mount turbo where it displaces the stock muffler. Thats the only space it can fit into without messing with the cats.

Seems like there is risk (as evidenced by a forum member running the AP kit) of cats disintegrating and destroying turbos that are mounted after them.
The second cat isn't even needed. It's after the last O2 sensor, so removing it doesn't even set off a CEL.
I'm not saying this is going to make it CARB legal, but I passed inspection without it.
I think the tune is going to have an effect also. The Vortech kit is only CARB legal if you use their tune (when it comes out).
