IMO it's probably 70-80% likely that the EPA will eliminate CARB's additional rules.

Whatever the EPA does during the Chump administration can be undone shortly after the 2020 election, assuming Trump is ousted by his own party or replaced by a Democrat. Sooner if the House and Senate flip to the Democrat party in November.
I'd like to have more power at the low end too. Most of my driving is below 2500 rpm. Peak high speed power is fairly efficient now with the OEM system.
The hidden cost of this turbocharger system is the higher octane gas it requires. Here in California that 91 octane supreme gas costs about 20 cents more per gallon than regular. The price of gas is going back up. It's risen $1/gal in the past 12 months.
What happens to gas mileage with a supercharger/turbocharger? If you're getting more power and you need a higher output fuel pump, I assume you're using more gas per mile.
