The Greddy will pass in any state but Cali. Rotary Performance in Dallas did tests and found it will pass inspection.

I called GReddy today 949-588-8300, they told me it will not pass anywhere. I cant imagine why GReddy would want to lie to me about that. I guess "Rotary Performance" in Dallas needs to re-check thier tests.

SSR Engineering said that thier turbo will pass in Texas. I dont know many people that would want to pay $7500+ for a turbo though.

I'm kind of dissapointed that greddy turbo kit wont pass smog. I guess when I finally buy it I'll just have to pay someone help me pass it. Just like my other car.

It won't pass IF you get a smog test.

In most states you only get hooked up for a smog test if you are currently throwing a CEL. So no CEL, no Smog Test, you pass inspection. Some states have a visual inspection requirements and you'll fail that with the turbo.

They do rolling dyno emissions in a number of counties in Texas, RP has a dyno and testing equipment. My guess is that Greddy doesnt have the time to fly out to Dallas to try it out. No reason for RP to lie to you either.

I know El Paso does smog tests, I cant imagine Dallas not doing them. If I were to get a turbo installed I would probably just drive out to Van Horn or another smaller town to just get a safety sticker.
