as long as you don't get a grip of tickets you should be fine.

you should be fine. Jmargo on the boards has a 92 325i (obd1 turbo s52 swapped) that is registered in delaware.

nope shouldn't be a problem
I have a euro s50b32 in my 325is and I pass. :devillook Just gotta find someone who will do it, and trust me, plenty of people will.
Btw, I had a CHP officer ask me to pop my hood the other day. As I was opening it I mentioned that my uncle was CHP and that I have a carb sticker for this and a carb sticker for that. Luckily my confidence lead him to apparently not notice the oil catch can sitting next to the intake. :rofl

You should be fine...A lot of turbo guys register their cars in AZ and live in CA. You might get hassled a bit sometimes if the cop has nothing to do, but as long as your not driving retardedly you should be good.

My roommate's car is still registered in Tennessee and she's been here for three years now. So long as who ever gets the registration in CT is still paying for it there is no problem.
Yeah, I think as long as the car doesn't need to be smogged or inspected in the other state, you should be fine.
