California to ban Turbo Chargers?!?!?!

Where are my Californians at? Is this a thing or is it BS?

I could certainly see California trying to pull that one off with some of the other ridiculous stuff they pass. But with as many manufacturers that put turbos in their cars these days, that's not going to fly. Now aftermarket could be a different story.

That's why I love my super charger. Driving thru the state a couple years ago some Californians (think SNL) heard it whine. They were all nodding their heads and one said 'we feel ya'.
