well heres the story: i live in cali n i have an st. i love the celi, but im tired of its lack of power so i want to swap a 3s in it eventually (planning on saving for like a year or so). to my understanding tho, there is no legal way to swap a 3s in cali. i really want it, and would like any input from anyone on what i should do. also, (im sure i know the answer, but) is it worth it to swap in the 3s?

Just don't get a loud exhaust and you'll keep the negative attention away. Sure, a 3" turbo back will bring out a nice bit of power and quicker spool, but getting a conservitive 2 1/2" exhaust with a cat and resonators will keep you out of trouble.
As far as legality goes with inpections and smogging, I agree that you should consult your fellow californians to see where you can get the hook-up. Nothing should stop you from being able to swap after then. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

It'll be good enough for stock turbo and may be few more psi. -------------------- _Gary
