Could you take a turbocharged fox to the ref and have it inspected and approved?Assuming all the correct emissions were intact and tailpipe emissions were within spec?

I know the Incon is the only legal kit.What im wondering is if you can take a car to the ref and have it approved/passed with an owner built or other aftermarket turbo kit.Assuming of course that all emissions are intact and the car meets the emission standards for that model year.

Or just build your kit then take a piece of metal and stamp the Incon Carb # on it and tack it to the piping. After a few heat cycles it should all be about the same color. The import guys use to do that for their headers back when I was in HS.
