To pass a supercharger here you will have to pass an emissions test. At the moment I believe Mitsubishi motors do the testing here, but Regency Park are installing a proper emissions tester there soon (Not sure if its in yet?).
To my knowledge, nobody in Adelaide has done this with aftermarket forced induction (they've tried, but failed). You get 2 goes and thats it. After the second go you cannot try again on that vehicle even if you pay the money again.
It costs between $2000-$3000 to get an emissions test. Thats for one go, another $2-3k for a second and FINAL chance.
To be honest, you'd be lucky to pass with a VX stock standard seeing as they're getting on a bit now.

yeh doubt it will pass.... the emission testing is a drive cycle test at the mitsubishi plant and theres no way in hell an aftermarket F/I motor will pass....

Yep. Have you heard of anyone passing either?
To the OP, I would suggest you save your money and not get it approved. If you are defected or what not, simply remove it.
It would be much easier if Raptor were able to provide a compliance plate with their kits like some of the LS1 turbo kits.

just go l67 conversion then. probably cheaper, legal, and youll be faster than it would be with a raptor on there. you wont get as high of a power readout but that doesnt matter. a centrifugal charger will normally give higher kw than a roots blower, like the l67, but youll go faster because there is more power down low to get you going.
