the best thing for you to do is to get bolt-on parts so before you go the dealership change out the aftermarket parts and put the oem ones back on or you could do what im thinking about doin for my turbo and that is when i do emissions test or go the dealership is to unhook the turbo so it wont work but leave it in and say its for show. oh and btw addin a exhaust and cai will add alot of pep to your car, just tonight i managed to keep bumper to bumper with a 2.3l 6 and i still wasent giving it all (i got a 2.0 just incase you didnt know) plus i shit load of weight (5 people and a trunk full of heavy crap)
ok tracker, several things, first, you can't "unhook" a turbo so it doesn't work, you'd have to permanenely open the wastegate actuator and that'd just make your exhaust comw out of the engine bay directly and the emissions guys will know that your car isn't making exhaust. also it'd be loud as hell. 2 if the factory opens the hood, they'll know there's a turbo there right away. They'll see the intercooler piping, the turbo headers, the turbocharger itself and they'd hear the wastegate you'd have to keep open. That won't work.

ah... busted! i don't know if i would like the idea of having a bolt on turbo. sure it is convenient, but you also are prone to more leaks rather than a weld-on. even our bolt-on headers that alot of aftermarket companies have done (some have tried and went under in business) are bolt on. i dunno how reliable these bolt-ons are but they can't be as bad as what i hear.

When i said "unhook" i ment just having the turbo just sit there and look pretty all of the old stuff will be put back together, i never was going to hide in the first place if i was gonna do that i might as well take the whole thing out.

The only reason why i perfer a bolt on is because its a lot easier to take a part vs. welded. Also ive been told by alot of tuners (the real ones who actually have degree in the field, not some 19yr old witha jack and screwdriver) that weilded parts tend to rust alot quicker and more leaks, the only advantage is welded pieces give it a more streamline look

How? If you put the old stuff beck together, th eturbo would be removed anyway. A turbo is part of the exhaust setup, you can just replace piping because one would be going through the charger itself, i.e. it would have to be removed. The only way you can have the turbo still in your engine bay and run OEM specs would be to open the wastegate all the way. Tracker I just think you don't know enough about turbocharging systems enough.

all i can say is this i know how turbocharges work atleast more than i did before (im never going to say i know EVERYTHING about a turbo, it would be like me saying i can build a rotary car better than Mazda), but as for fitting and placement i have some idea. Ive been told a few ways to still pass emissions keep your warrenty and still have it hooked up, all i know is some guy in a white supra passes emissions everytime he goes but he removed something i forgot what its was but still has the turbo hooked up (no its not a stock turbo). Ill get that story striaght once i find him. Dont laugh because i found out how a turbo works from howstuffworks.com
