I found something on this topic on another thread so I looked at the bar.ca.gov website and found Appendix I states:
"For the purposes of a Smog Check inspection, the following parts and emission control changes are acceptable provided that all of the required emission controls are connected and functioning. When conduction a Smog check inspection, it is not necessary to check for a CARB Executive Order for the following:"
Lists several things and then the 11th item down states
*"Intercoolers for OEM turbochargers;"

As for regular smog, don't think the smog techs care much.

What is wrong with this state??? An aftermarket boost gauge illegal? I wish that a car would pass smog as long as it passes the sniff test. I mean really, that should be all that matters...
I will probably go back to a TMIC so I don't have to deal with this problem. I only have a VF39, it is too small for the front mount.
