Do I need to get an engineers certificate to certify the car still meets all NSW road regs etc after I get the kit fitted or not? I asked MRT and the bloke said "Most people don't bother" This made me very confused as for me personally, the last thing I would want is my insurance company to turn around and not give me any money because there was no formal inspection on the modifications.
I'd be curious to know how other things effect this as well, coilovers etc.

I always thought you only needed to get the work engineered if you did it yourself, not if it was done by a licensed mechanic.

I've also been told I may only be required to get a mod plate, is this the same thing or what? There doesn't seem to be much easily accessible information out there regarding this specific topic.

Thanks for any help
This is like a 90% populated USA forum

Yes you will need to get eng cert for turbo kit!
