CA Emission Test: Stroker vs. Turbo

[bhonnold at pac-cap.com (b.honnold)]

Basically a storker motor (does that deliver high HP babies?) will pass
no problem.  Visual and sniffer as long as it is tuned by a shop to vw
spec before the test.  Then you can tune it for performance.

The only way to get passed smog with a G60 is a fully certified swap
which would include a full G60 install with engine management and vaccum
system.  Or turbo using one of the older ND turbo kits or BAE kits that
are CARB legal but you need all the parts and the Exemption Order (not
Executive Order)to take to the ref.  Those limit you to 8V though.

OR register the car in a county that doesn't require smog.

I will have some trouble with the visual inspection, but the sniffer is 
passing no problem. I was chatting with the ref. and he told me to find
an 
EO (Executive Order) for a G60 or Digifant 8v turbo system and there
will be 
no problem. I looked for an EO on the ARB website, but nothing turned
up.

I am considering changing to a 2L stroker. I know that I will be able to

smog a CIS 16v  much easier than my turbo project, however, I don't know
how 
a 2L stroker will be around the sniffer. I am hoping that a storker
motor 
will put the same smile on my face...

TIA for any advice or input!!
