Default Boost in CA

Anybody on here living in California and boosted? Seeing a boosted civic around here is a rare sight for me. Is it because its hard to pull off without gettin pulled over and impounded?

Yeah i know i'll fail emissions if i boost, there's ways around that though. I'm just trying to assess the probability of getting popped for it.

if you have an illegal kit, they will get you. just stick to a carb legal kit. the no hassles is worth it.

From what my mech said and what I understand, you can tune a car to pas any emissions test.

Damn, that would be cool to see. I'm just planning on a street tune though. Wouldn't it be quite expensive to have a tune that good pushing 15 pounds legally?

not true. you can tune it to pass (almost) any sniffer test. we also have to pass a visual emmisions test. meaning they look for added parts, and a turbo kit is hard to hide.
