You won't be covered by your insurer either and you might get a red sticker.

The fine will be the least of your problems if you get done.

1. You wil recieve a defect notice for an unroadworthy vehicle (fine at discretion of officer i belive around $160 though).

2. EPA notice (no fines) you will however have to remove ALL your turbo gear and return it to stock, pass the EPA, then throw all the turbo gear back on. Unless you can do this yourself, then your probably looking at about $800+ in labour....

What about with the new P- PLater laws in Vic, im pretty sure the fine is pretty hefty for driving a turbo charged vehicle and being ovr the power to weight ratio
