Help: Please advice forced induction friendly smog station in Socal

Where do those of you who have turbo or supercharger setups take your cars for smog check? I have stg 4 HKS supercharger and just wondering where should I take my car for smog check in Socal? Thank you for your input and advice.

unless your set up is CARB legal you will have to take it off to pass smog. its Socal where we get shitty Octane and the strictest of all Emissions

Mine is GTM stg 4 HKS supercharger, with the CARB sticker (for the original supercharger). Should I just go and have the smog check?

You better be careful, they are starting to do stings to catch people who "clean pipe". They will seize your car. See page 7:
