I can't wait till Greddy gets a CARB number for the "bolt on turbo kit"... I've "heard" that it could cost me $300 to pass. if not, Ill be dropping in my NA motor when the time comes.

Knowing you live in so-cal, i wonder if you got tagged on a "gross polluter" list.
A friend of mine got tagged by one of those road-side-emissions tester, and got one of those. They required him to get tested _every_ year for 5 years(?), as proof, its all legitmate.
If i was you, i would simply remove it all and go get a "real" test. Removing the turbo only takes a day. Also, NOS should be okay as long as you dont have a bottle hooked up. Next, go dyno tune it to pass. Save the settings and leave it stock for your 5 yrs.
The problem i'm having, is finding the factory A/F, so i can make my modified motor produce the same exhaust a/f.

Would you pass the visual test though? Or is the visual not needed?

I was saying that all about _his_ car. for me, yes, of course its an automatic fail with boost. 'tis why i've removed the boostmaker for my upcoming smog already.
