Is it illegal to drive a car with turbo?

It is not illegal to drive a vehicle with a turbocharger or turbo system installed in most jurisdictions. Many modern production cars come equipped with turbochargers from the factory, and there is no legal prohibition against installing them in vehicles that were not originally turbocharged.

However, it's important to note that any modifications or alterations to a vehicle's engine or performance systems may have implications for vehicle emissions, safety regulations, and insurance coverage.

It's always advisable to check with local laws, regulations, and vehicle manufacturers' specifications before installing a turbocharger or performing significant modifications to a vehicle. In some cases, modifying a vehicle's engine or performance systems without proper authorization or compliance with emissions standards could result in legal consequences or issues with vehicle registration and inspections.
