2.2 SC'ing or TC'ing question..

Hey guys, new to the site, and have a question to ask the owners in CA. With our wonderful CA smog laws, would I be able to smog my 2008LT 2.2L if I put a supercharger or turbo setup on it? I want to put some sort of forced induction on it, but I know how CA is and want to keep it within smog specs since it is my daily driver. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!!

Sweet! That's awesome! I am thinking I want to go with a Turbo setup. Anyone recommend a good one? Will the 2.4 turbo work on my 2.2? Thanks again guys! And if anyone has any 2.2 motor upgrade parts, let me know. I'm all stock right now and want to start somewhere while saving for the turbo!!

I just found out a couple days ago that if your car was made after january 1st 2005, then you don't have to get your car tested for smog for 6 years after the model year of your car.
