Did you end up having to do emmisions testing?
or did the engineer not care?

Great news Troy.
Let's hope the Boys in Blue don't have cause for you to test it all out. All we have heard for years, is that it is impossible to legally have a supercharger installed here in NSW, and you have just gone a thrown all that out the window. Good Stuff. Cheers BenJ

Cheers BenJ I don't know where you heard that. There was a turbo charged AU engineered in NSW ~2years ago. He didn't even do an emmisions test. Its always been possible, but it comes down to weather people were willing to spend the ~$1000 to get it done. Clearly $1000 is worth it IMO. Not everyone agrees though.

Fair enough.
I guess I would find it difficult to justify that sort of money to get a piece of paper to 'verify' the work I have already done, is now legal. But, sometimes piece of mind is priceless. BenJ

Yes its only for a piece of paper, but its the difference between my plod sticking a yellow label on ya front windscreen or not. That being said, it wont stop a cop from giving you a canary, but it will hopefully give them reason to back off considering you have done the right thing and got it legally passed.

Quite interesting the results of not having to do an emmisions testing.
Funnily enough, the Engineer you've used AKZ Vehicle Engineering is also on the Vic engineers list. Might be an option for Victorians wanting to go legal. Especially since in vic, the emmisions test is ~2000, if you can bypass it with the stock ECU, then win win. Was the engineers name John Wilson?
