Unfortunately, some law enforcement have been known to ticket owners of turbocharged vehicles, because the LEO does not understand the principle behind turbocharging, or the nuances of specific applications. Tickets have been given for "activating a turbo in a residential neighborhood", "unlawful hood scoop" (on a stock WRX), and "no muffler on exhaust" (on a stock SRT4).
