Take weight off of the car ... makes you faster and does not affect smog at all ;)

he lives in cali. We also have visual. You can not really do anything engine wise LEGAL to the car.
But you might want to try getting a 4AGZE motor. That is a big step up from the NA and you can go to the ref and get it badged as a supercharged vehicle. :)

the ref is a state certified smog check that goes through your car to make sure you are legal and smogs your car. If everything passes you can get your car badged as a supercharged MKI. :)
