Dont hold your breath - I dont believe there are any turbo kits on the market yet that are considered CARB legal. LOTS of options when it comes to superchargers though

This company has applied for a CARB cert... http://www.turbo-kits.com/mustang_turbo_kits.html

Most of the other sites have a disclaimer about some of the parts may not be legal for highway use or don't mention the subject at all.

I suggest you contact the different manufacturers with a direct question about CARB certification.

By Now, probably. They are usually pretty good about getting the certs.

I just heard recently that the KB is CARB cert now. You might check into that as well.

The Magnacharger is "CARB Pending". Its just a matter of time - look at the countless number of kits they DO have approved.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

I have been waiting for the magnacharger to pass for months now. I talked to them like 6 months ago and even then they said " it should be soon "

whipple is carb certified in CA :-) Which makes me wonder why these things don't come on the mustangs from the factory! They would make a sale on every test drive they gave :-)

It would be nice if there were some turbo options that were CARB certified. If there were, I probably would have gone that route.
