Performance Upgrades We Specialize In
We handle the entire forced induction process, from planning to final tuning:
-
Bolt-on Turbo Kits: Precision installation of turbo manifolds, downpipes, and wastegate setups.
-
Supercharger Installations: Expert fitment of centrifugal or roots-style superchargers for instant, linear power delivery.
-
Custom Intercooler Mounting: Fabrication and mounting of high-efficiency intercoolers to keep intake air temperatures low and prevent heat soak.
-
Blow-Off Valve (BOV) & Wastegate Setups: Proper configuration of pressure management systems to protect your turbocharger and achieve that unmistakable performance sound.
Emissions Compliance & Legal Considerations
We operate with complete transparency regarding California’s strict emissions laws. We categorize our work into two distinct paths:
-
50-State Street-Legal (CARB-Compliant): We install verified, CARB-compliant forced induction kits (such as those from Jackson Racing or Edelbrock) that are designed to pass state inspections. These kits are fully legal for use on California public highways.
-
Off-Road & Track Only: We also build high-horsepower custom turbo setups that go beyond the limitations of street compliance.
-
Important: Any vehicle modified with non-CARB-compliant components cannot be driven on public California highways and will not pass a state Smog Check.
-
Required Liability Waiver: Because we follow all regulatory guidelines, we require all clients commissioning non-compliant performance builds to sign a legally binding liability waiver acknowledging that the vehicle is strictly for Off-Road or Track Use Only.
