A/F gauge I can see as being illegal. But I cannot see a turbo timer, especially one that just counts. That means that Subaru sells illegal boost gauges because it taps one of the vacuum lines? The logic that some of the people use is just wrong. But what can you do since you are at the mercy of that tester.

We're talking about modifications after the car is purchased. You can prove a turbo timer came with the car if you show the window sticker/paper. Dealers can install things because they are either carbed approved items or state law allows it. A dealer isn't going to install a upgraded turbo or catless downpipe before the sale of a new car, but a boost gauge sure.

Yes, you can't have a turbo timer cause that taps the ECU, which CA wants to see unaltered.

So I went to the court house today and it turns out that my ticket is not in the system yet.

The ticket was issued on 9/20/08. The lady stamped my ticket and said come back in 30 days.

I then went to the Police dept to see how long it would take for the ticket to get processed.

It turns out that the Officer says they have no record of my ticket

I'm still going to go back to court in 30 days to see if it has been processed.
