  It is legal provided you have enough money to get it legalized.
  You gotta tow your car to the inspection centre, pay money to get it inspected, pay money to get a certification from the turbo manufacturer.
  
  It's gonna cost you a lot, but it can be done.

  It cannot be done unless the TC or SC is produced by the same manufacturer as the car make. In so far, only the Lexus IS/RS200 SC is approved by TTE and LTA. It can only be installed by the approved workshop.

  Alternation needs approval from LTA... Even changing of colours need to inform them

  If I am not wrong, i heard b4 of one case of adding turbo charger to your car. But you need to get approval from LTA all tis. It is legal once you get all the documents.
