Vehicle Code; and

Pursuant to the authority vested in the undersigned by Section 39515 and Section 39516
of the Health and Safety Code and Executive Order G—14—012;

IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of the Supercharger System,
manufactured and marketed by Vortech Engineering, Inc., 1650 Pacific Avenue, Oxnard,
California 93033, has been found not to reduce the effectiveness of the applicable vehicle
pollution control systems and therefore, is exempt from the prohibitions of Section 27156
of the Vehicle Code for 2013 to 2016 model year Subaru BRZ and Scion FR—S.

The Supercharger System for the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR—S includes the following
main parts: Centrifugal supercharger with a 3.47 inch diameter pulley, intercooler,
supercharger by—pass valve,air intake tubing, mass air flow element housing, new air
filter box with conical filter, and a ECU upgrade without user adjustments. The stock
radiator thermostat, mass air flow sensor element, fuel injectors, 5.62 inch diameter
crankshaft pulley, and fuel pump are retained. The PCV breather hose may be
replaced or modified with an SAE30ORY rated hose or a Subaru or Scion replacement
equivalent. All supplied fuel hoses are either Avon‘s CADbar 9000 series or a stock
factory replacement, and fuel and vapor line connectors supplied with the kit are OEM
equivalent parts. Maximum boost is 10 psi.

This Executive Order is valid provided that the installation instructions for the Supercharger
System will not recommend tuning the vehicle to specifications different from those submitted
by the device manufacturer.

Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the Supercharger System, as exempt
by the Air Resources Board, which adversely affect the performance of the vehicle‘s pollution
control system shall invalidate this Executive Order.

This Executive Order shall not apply to any Supercharger System advertised, offered for sale,
sold with, or installed on a new motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate
purchaser.

Marketing of the Supercharger System using any identification other than that shown in this
Executive Order or marketing of the Supercharger System for an application other than those
listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is obtained from the Air
Resources Board.

This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the
Supercharger System may have on any warranty either expressed or implied by the vehicle
manufacturer.


                                                   A


  This Executive Order is granted based on emissions test data generated on one test vehicle
  modified with the Supercharger System. Test results showed that emission levels, with the
  supercharger kit installed, met the applicable emission standards when tested using the
  Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test Procedure (FTP) test cycle and the Supplemental Federal
  Test Procedure (SFTP) test cycle. Examination of the OBD II system showed that the
  supercharger kit did not affect OBD II system operation. Results from emission testing
  conducted at Quantum Technologies, located at Lake Forest, California, are shown below, in
  grams per mile, with deterioration factors (df) applied to Cold—Start CVS—75 Federal Test
  Procedure modified test results.
