Im wanting to get about a 40% or 50% increase in HP, and a turbo kit seems to be the way to go...but I need it to be COMPLETELY street legal. Is there any turbo kit that that does this? I've heard that they're all not CARB legal, so is that correct? If so, what's the cheapest way to LEGALLY give me a 40% increase in HP?
oh well. I can just take the whole thing off once a year for inspection

no u cant... good luck with closing the HOLE in the oil pan for the return line.... 
hmm....well cant i just take the turbo itself out and just have the two oil hoses that would normally go through the turbo attached to eachother? So that the oil just flows right on through?
no cause ones steal braided and the other a ruber hose which is 3 times the size of it... theres no way to do it... You would have to remove the T fitting from the feed line.. reinstall the oil sender/sensor in its place again, and then i duno.. weld the oil pan hole shut or get a new oil pan.

oh well. I'm not exactly in touch with all the laws. Anyways, I contacted SF about the oil pan, and they include a plug for it. All you have to take off is the turbo/headers and the intercooler. Plug the oil pan with the inclued plug, and reroute the pipes around the intercooler and put the stock headers back on. According to them, its about 1-2 hours to take off enough to make it legal. Coo, only another $1500 to go
edelbrock just made a 50 state CARB legal turbo kit....garrett t3/t4 turbo, fuel management, intercooler, tial BOV, and all the other necessary goodies for $3500
Dont know if they got it for the D17 yet, but i know it will be out for the D16
Peep the october import tuner, they have an article about it on there

if you keep the catalytic converter, any turbo kit will pass emissions. THe problem is the visual. From what I hear, it is illegal simply to have a turbo installed in your car (aftermarket). Anyways, I'm going to get the SY kit, and it only takes like 2 hours to take out enough for it to pass inspection.
to plug the hole in yout oil pan, all you have to do is use a bypass cap, made by HELP!. You can find these at autozone for like $3
