I recently moved to California and of course most of the mods I have made (specifically the aftermarket Kenne Bell air cleaner kit, breather by-pass and turbo inlet bell) are not legal. Unfortunately, with all the moves I have made in the military the old parts are gone. Any recommendations for C.A.R.B. parts or a source for original replacemants?
Most military people keep there home state lic and tags can't you still do that.
No, I was registered in Hawaii. I cannot renew when the reg runs out unless I get a new safety inspection from Hawaii. Not likely. I need to put it stock, at least for a while.

It's hard to find a knowledgeable somg tech when it comes to these cars. The air cleaner is not heated or restricted and should not be considered when doing a smog check. Same goes for turbo bell. The breather is another story. The other unique thing is the cats get lazy with miles and if not real hot will cause a C/O fail at idle. Trick is raise minimum air rate so idle is around 900 rpms and make sure cat is hot.
