usually the "lubrication" happens off site at another time. you find a guy who knows a guy who hooks up with a number you call to meet a guy you pay him and then he tells you when to bring your car in, and then the turbos magically aren't found. Here you get a recomendation, that person calls the guy to tell him your legit, then you go meet him hand him your paperwork and pay and it just happens magically and you get your new papers in the mail. talk to some of the guys in a local car club that have done it, make friends with them and they will hook you up the penalties are so big that a lot of times it takes a while to actually get them to tell you. also sometimes it helps to go to a small town place that dealers with people who can't afford to bring their cars up to spec also.

I'd worry about the install and more importantly UpRev tuning at the time being rather than passing inspection.

There is no way on earth you're hiding a turbo'd car from inspectors, end of story. Some tend to overlook it, but doesn't mean they missed it.

There's still a chance they'll miss it

, let's say I got it installed an tuned properly, if I can't get it passed all of it would go to waste.

God I love living in Texas. You throwing any codes, nope. Ok, you're good to go.

learn how to install the kit (or keep aside labour charges each year for removal and reinstallation of kit), that way IF it does not pass you can remove it for testing and install again.

Maybe you missed it but finding an uprev tuner will be more difficult than the annual inspection.

I'm just going to say that I have seen both the FI and BP kits installed and both are clean as they come. If you are looking for a nonintrusive oem look these kits will do the job, but you got to be pretty damn naïve or just don't care to miss a boosted Z!
