Wow use full stops man haha.

Going straight gas should help You avoid Some emmissions testing. Engineers all have different rates they charge. Be prepared to have to upgrade brakes and suspension to meet an engineers if power is more thAn standard. Not all engineers will mind, but some will.

sorry for the sh*t punctuation its been a long long day.

Call the transport dept or an engineer for straight answers.

not familiar with the requirements in SA, the difference generally comes down to the emmisions test required.

An engineer would be the first person to speak to to get a guide of effort.

engineers certs alone are around $700.
emmisions testing depends on a number of factors but in victoria its typically around $2000.

earlier year cars and structural mods like RHD conversions have a different list of requirements, so while they still need the engineers cert, theres no need for an emmisions test hence the price difference.

Is there any one in S.A. who is legaly driving a pre ba turbo falcon at all, I know there around i see an AU turbo all the time and he's not hiding the fact either. I was talking to the guy that sells the cheap kits in S.A. he recons you cant, he said just drive it till you get caught take it off, clear it and put it back on later great sales pitch hey! I'd be one of the unlucky one's that got his car crushed or seized for being cocky.
