came with a turbocharger from its OEM thus it is LTA approved. its
not aftermarket installation of turbocharger.
read this line:[b]The addition of superchargers or turbochargers to
a vehicle may adversely affect the safe operation and its exhaust
emission characteristics.
so do u really think our vehicle installed with turbocharger or
supercharger can easily pass the test? it'll probably need to go
through so much paperwork and $$$ that it'll make it impractical to
install and probably with that money, people might as well buy a TC
car.[/b]
Superchargers are allowed, if they are OEM but not aftermarket
installation. Even when they are OEM approved, you have to go
through rigorous tests by LTA to make sure that the other
components in the car are compatible for the addition of the
supercharger, meaning they can support the extra load etc. It's not
easy and it's very troublesome, most likely you will need the
advice of a professional.
But whether it is impractical due to the paperwork, money and
trouble involved, it is really up to the owner to decide, since
they may feel it's worth everything 
It's their car after all.
