Stupid California Emissions laws..

So, is there any turbo setup that is CARB legal? If not, I guess a CA k20a2 swap is in order.

If I can muster the cash that is, anyone have a list of CARB legal parts since their site is down for 'Emergency Servicing'?

Carb turbos for this car? No
Greddy makes Carb kits for the K20s.

so the jdm engine swap is out of the question, my problem is that I have connections to CHP so I gotta stay good in their books. Anyone have a list of CARB approved parts?

jdm swaps are legal, as long as you get it bar'ed

ah.. nice. Found a turbo kit for $650 with a t3 but now that's outta the question... BLECH.

for $650, it isnt a complete turbo kit.

was it on ebay?

If you find a turbo kit for an unbelievable price, then it most likely is not a complete kit and is composed of shitty parts.

A new GT28rs turbo costs more that that whole 'kit' you posted above.

And just a bit of heads up..... dont buy turbo parts off ebay. They are either some ss-autochrome, OBX, or xs-power POS, or they are used parts. And people usually only sell parts that cheap when they have something wrong with them.
