Carb and supercharger legalities

Hi,

Does anyone know if Camden superchargers are street legal in the UK/Europe? It says that they're not legal in the US but thought it might be different for the UK?

How about Racing Beat's performance carbs? It says they're not legal in the US, but are they legal in the UK/Europe?

If you don't know, perhaps you could point me in the right direction as to how I would find out?

Any comments/advice are welcome : ).

Umm. At least in Estonia, its illegal to modify intake system, except for air filter. Thats EU rules.. but maybe caruerators arwe not so obvious... I mean if i go to inspection with my turbo s5 people even dont know how it's supposed to be under the hood from factory.

Thanks for the reply psyaddict.

I didn't know that, yeah, I guess there are ways of getting around modification legalities if an inspector doesn't know what's supposed to be and what's not!
