1 - What LS motor has a CARB legal turbo? The only ones I know are the STS rear mount AIR.

I looked into this extensively when I did my CA legal LS swap into a C3 Vette and they were very clear (cuz I asked) that engines not only have to be of the same or later year as the chassis, but must be in the same class as the chassis of the vehicle they came out of. In other words, no mid-mounting a V8 in your Civic hatchback, but more frustratingly, no V8s in RXs. At least not legally in CA. The ref won't give you your magic sticker.
i went to the referree office in east los angeles. they told me as long as the engine is of the same year or newer and equiped with all the required smog devices then it will pass. also the kit that i have is an sts rear mount kit. There has been several people online who has done this already minus turbo.
