A friend of mine recently purchased a GQ TD42 with an aftermarket turbo. Upon taking the vehicle to a registered inspection station (here in the ACT) he was advised that because the vehicle had been fitted with an after market turbo he would have to have this certified by an engineer. $400-00

Up until last year I owned a 1989 Hilux LN106 which also had an after market turbo fitted to it. No engineer's certificates were required then.

Would have thought that a product you can buy from many, many approved reatilers would not require an engineer's certificate to enable you to use it.

Anyone heard of this new law? Is it only in the ACT or does it affect other States?

Cheers
