Can /o/ redpill me on turbo bricks?
I was going miata but living in cali there is too much red tape surrounding turbos. These vo's came bewsted from the factory.
Is this my most viable route to live the bewst life as a poor man? Other options would be greatly appreciated.

Low pressure turbos on old engines. Forget it.
(Fitting a single large turbo of rudimentary design results in a huge amount of turbo lag, cars with factory turbos generally utilised them to make the engine a bit more powerful without losing throttle responsiveness.)

Twin turbo it.
Keep the low boost turbo and get a bigger turbo.
change the engine packing and reroute some oil lines.

don't, anything old and turbod will require so much fucking work it's not worth it. buy a non turbo clean brick then mod it

CA Laws are what's holding me back. It's my understanding I can't add a turbo unless CARB (the govt program) certified. AKA mucho guapo.

So that's why I am looking for something cheap and already bewsted.

Honestly it doesn't stop anyone else from turboing shit. But they probably pay someone to pass them when it comes to smogging.

Instead of buying a car you should save your money and move.

You don't get it certified you buy one that's already approved compliant with a stamp on it. The low end Begi one for miatas was $4500. I wanted to do it on the cheap.

I'm aware of that, but what does it take to get a home made setup certified?
>>14624747
My understanding is you can't. Technically your not even supposed to alter the approved kit but from what I've read the inspections aren't that detailed to notice.
