Aftermarket turbo? Fire Jacket?

Can someone verify if this is true?

If i remember correctly the regulations for Etown require a helmet if you do lower than 13.99 and a cage if you do lower than 11.49

How about when you have an aftermarket turbokit and/or nitrous? Do they require fire jackets? Can someone verify that?

Also what type of jacket if the above statement is true... meaning single layer? double layer?


I dont want to go to the track and learn that this is true and driving to NJ or wherever for nothing...

Thanks....
