Is a Turbo street legal in Philadelphia?

[T3CivicGuy]

I have a stock 96 civic EX coupe, and i want to install a good name brand turbo kit.

My question is, would it still be street Legal, and pass inspection?


I have another Turbo civic, but its not my daily driver, so i dont care about legal and inspection with that one, its a project car that I am building for track drag racing.


But the stock civic i just bought is my daily driver, and I want more power by installing a turbo kit, but i want it to pass inspection too. Is this possible?

Umm Greddy I think Apexi and the Edelbrok were all carb legal. They didn't make the Apexi kit very long, the Edelbrock kit isn't made anymore I don't think. Greddy also stopped making the sohc kit also. Sooooo I don't know lol. In order to get a real carb legal product it cost tons of money so companies skip out on that, it makes for a big price tag in the end. I have a never used Greddy kit with the emanage blue, not just the little blue box, it's suppose to be carb legal but I didnt see a carb sticker.

there is a few edelbrock kits on sale on amazon.com but get ready to fork out 3.5K or so.

It's definitely possible! There's tons of people running turbo civics that pass inspection!

PA isn't a really difficult state to pass inspection..

I've got a 1992 hatch with a turbo and it passes each and every time. OBD1 FTW!

Oh ok, thats good to know. Money isnt a problem either, ill pay $4k for a turbo kit, it doesnt matter to me. I just dont want to have a problem with getting inspected, and then having to search for somewhere that will pass it for an extra fee, off the books. lol. Its a pain. I had to do that with my S13, and i hated it.
