ProCharger IS NOT C.A.R.B. legal. Magnuson, Whipple and Edlebroc are the only C.A.R.B approved setups.

You already have LT's so what difference does it make what else you have? It already won't pass the visual so if you get caught, you're caught.

I went with a Maggie and smog friendly cam, added LT's and kick myself all the time for not going with a more agressive cam, different blower and larger LT's. Do it once and say F**k it. If you're already going to have to find someone to slip some extra money too anyway to ignore the visual, I say go for what you really want. If you get sent to a ref, you are screwed unless you go back to factory exhaust and CAI right now.

If you want to play it psuedo safe, get a Whipple or Maggie what comes with the tuner (so you can get the carb sticker) and have it custom tuned. If you get sent to a ref, pull the LT's off and you will pass. Just don't get a tuner version of the blower.
