Eric Added...
Sorry to add more crap to this thread , but just got informed that there after boosted turbo engins also , if you are caught with any waistgate mods , your off the road , also cracking doen on after market exausts and larger intercoolers , if you have both there freak. One of the boys from work was asked to remove his larger intercooler last week , and got a yellow for it


Large intercooler or adjusted wastegate a defect??

fine

bogged wrote:From a baconer on another forum



There is no fine issued in Victoria for $150. The offence of " vehicle fails to comply with registration standard" is found in the R.S.V.R.'s (Road safety Vehicle Regulations) section 819(3), and carries and immediate fine of $165.00, and Zero(0) demerit points.

No offences in the RSVR's carry Demerit point listings. Offences in other acts (i.e., Road Safety Act, Road Safety Traffic regulations) Do, and they are mostly only attached to offences whereby a higher level of risk to safety has been infringed. (i.e. Exceed blood alcohol content, speeding, etc.).

You're not allowed to have the wastegate open to atmosphere - it is supposed to be a closed system (or at least it is on mine)...

So if your turbo sneezes, it's bad. But i guess it's just like having a pod air filter and a loud exhaust :?
