There is no other way around it, either pay for the lab testing, or sell the car. Getting a touring in California is an expensive ordeal.
On the plus side, once the car is registered in California and passes lab testing, it is smog'able by any subsequent owner. Having a touring registered in California should let you charge a premium if you decide to sell.
