Default HKS GT Turbo Kit

Hey Gang, thought you might be interested in this bit of info:

Subj: RE:WRX CARB Legal GT Turbo kit?

Thank you for your question.

As we understand it, YOU ASKED:
When the HKS GT Turbo kit for the WRX is released later this year will it
be CARB legal? Maybe a dumb question but I think HKS is one of the few
performance options that ever releases CARB legal parts.

Thanks,

-=Mike

OUR ANSWER:
Mike,

Thank you for your support. The WRX GT turbo upgrade kit is moving along
in its prototype and development stages, but details and components of the
kit are yet to be determined, which also affects wiether it would be a
CARB exempt kit or not. Please stay tuned and check back with the website
as its updater regularly.

Sincerely,
HKS USA Technical Support

Well, Nobody is going to know if you have an aftermarket turbo, so I guess that it does not matter if it is "CARB".

There are really not too many "CARB" legal turbo kits out there.

It is not like a header, or an exhaust...you can't really tell if it is aftermarket (Unless you know your $hit).

I agree. HKS takes a while to release any of their products, but usually when they do, they're solid. Is this the upgraded turbo kit you're referring to or the full blown kit? I've seen numerous articles on them, but none of them address the time of release. Just be prepared to shell out some cash for this setup because it's going to be expensive heh.
