Because N/A is better! LOL! I personally wouldn't want to run a turbo motor in cali, especially if you wanna drive the car to and from the track. A big intercooler and a BOV is basically a big neon "PULL ME OVER" sign in most of so-cal. I think that is the reason that you see a lot of so-cal guys selling their SR's right now. Even a god damn exhaust ticket requires a trip to the ref and a full inspection. I wanna do a N/A KA just to prove that it can be done reliably and can produce sufficient power (200 whp) while still being "smog legal" (basically the bolt-ons will be carb legal and I will use a "stock" intake mani).
