  Turbos are legal provided they come with a manufacturer's sheet and emissions certificate.

  Changing of engine without approval by LTA will face an impoundment of vechical/confriscation + face court orders
  
  Placing NOS in vechical will face 'total loss' of vechical + License revokation + Fine $10,000 + Jail 3 weeks (got a friend which is inside now)

  You can install a turbo in any car, as long as the installation and the equipment has been tested and according to safety standards.You need approval for most mods, and this is much better than the past, where mods were simply considered illegal.

  You got to wait for the LTA approval for abt 1 year before its approved. more most cases...they dont approve.

  Is it that most mods have to get approval? Have thought that minor mods like CAI, K&N, struct bar, pivot etc is ok with LTA/TP. But even if govt side ok, dunno if insurance companies with use these as excuses not to compensate.

  I know of people who have successfully installed turbos and their approval is quite fast and smooth.Please ensure you have a certificate from JDS and it is helpful if the engine you are installing the turbo on, has a pre-existing turbo variant.
