Default Getting a forced inducted engine legal

I know the laws are different in each state so if any QLD members know .......
What certificates and stuff do i need to make a force inducted engine road worthy and legal?

IE turbo or Supercharged?

and ball park prices would be great as well.

Cheers

It only happened last week. It happened at willowbank, he managed to hold it in first gear while it revved and revved and revved. Then it spat a rod.

I think so, when I registered the AU I met a guy who had bought a turbo VS ute and he said it was just like a normal car to get a RWC for and register. No dodgy RWC needed.
