I will be turning 18 soon and I was wondering if I need a permit if I apply after I turn 18 (CA)? If so how long do I have to have it before I can take the actual driving test?

I believe most of the answers to your question can be found here:

Check out the section about obtaining a permit.
If you are over 17 ½ but under 18 years of age, you may get your permit without the driver education and driver training certificates however, you will not be able to take the driving test until you turn 18.
Once you pass your written test, you will be issued a provisional permit.
A parent, guardian, spouse or adult 25 years of age or older, who has a valid California driver license, must be with you when you drive. He or she must sit in a position close enough to take control of the vehicle, if necessary. It is illegal for you to drive alone at any time.
Before being eligible to take your driving test you must:
Be 16 years old
AND
Have held your permit for a minimum of six months
AND
Have completed driver education
AND
Have completed 6 hours of professional driver training
AND
Have completed 50 hours of practice with an adult 25 years or older. The adult must have a valid California driver license and certify to the 50 hours of practice. At least 10 of the 50 hours must have been done at night.

If i remember correctly, once you're 17 1/2 and over you no longer are required to take drivers ed. Which means you can just go straight to taking the written exam (which is for your permit), since everyone needs to take it. After that its up to you to decide when you want to schedule your actual driving test, although i think you need to be 18 to take the driving exam

No. You canna drive public streets Any state without a learner's permit, no matter How old yiu are. I got one at 54 for my M/C, then I practiced six weeks, took test. Not the car, I just took the test again at 53 and passed it.
