In Spain, to be 100% legal, you need to demonstrate the car still meets emissions and noise standards (Euro 6 for GT86/BRZ) after installing the kit, throughout a series of engineering & lab tests with a positive final report. It's not unlike TUV certification, but it's always performed on a car-by-car basis.

A kit that is already TUV certified should be able to pass all the tests required for homologation in Spain without much trouble. Most people hire a specialized company to handle all the tests and paperwork. For a supercharger kit, you might be looking at spending anywhere between 1000-2000 EUR, depending how many tests are required and how familiar the company is with the car/platform.
