Larger turbos smog friendly?

Does the size of a turbo affect smog??? I have a T64E, may want to go TA-64 for stock appearing if the larger hair dryers do not affect smog. Something makes me thing larger wheels blow colder and may not burn as clean. Am I dreaming?

Wink Smog??

Ed, smog tests are not run under boost conditions, so the turbo size shouldn't affect the performance on the rollers...My GN w/ a T-72BB, 95# inj's passed.... [But then I didn't live amongst the "smog nazi's"]

Turbochargers require an Executive Order (CARB exemption) to be legal. The only one I know of are Turbonetics.
