Turbo Coversion

Hey all,
This thread is sort of unrelated from subarus but it is talking about one...
I have a Subaru Liberty 1995 GEN2 as my first car.
Non-turbo EJ22 rebuilt engine, cool air intake, extractors, exhaust etc.
So.. last year queensland transport implied a new law where P platers cant have turbo cars or V8 cars.
BUT.. a guy who i buy subaru parts off told me a way that i could get around this.
He said; If i register my car now as a non turbo car, when they put in the VIN etc it will come up as naturally aspirated cause thats what the factory engine is. Once its registered as a naturally aspirated engine, i can perform a turbo modification, and when i tell QLD transport, i can file it as just an engine modification and techincaly i can't get introuble for having a turbo engine because its registered as a naturally aspirated engine with an engine mod.
could this actually be possible and i could drive around my subaru with a turbo ???
