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.

Thanks.
Well... hopefully they will change the regulation to meet other European countries standards. In the meanwhile, I will double check with the company that I use locally how hard it is to homologate a kit with a TUV certificate here. To my understanding there could be some kind of "flexibility" sometimes.
K-Sport is not able to sell the kit without VAT... I live in the Canary Islands so we don't have VAT here. I won't pay 22% more for the kit and then the local import taxes on top of price plus shipping. They won't "sell" the certificate either.
GP performance won't handle the certificate with a kit. They need to install the supercharger themselves.
I will contact Chip Performance for the AVO kit.
Thank you RIDO for your help.
