What modifications make a Learner legal bike no longer learners legal? NSW, Australia?

I e-mailed the NSW RTA, and all i got back was a ridiculous quote from their site saying:
"The LAM scheme will allow novice riders to ride moderately powered motorcycles with an engine capacity up to and including 660ml and which do not exceed a power to weight ratio of 150 kilowatts per tonne and are shown on this list."

So by this logic, providing that my motorcycle does not exceed those numbers, i can install a turbo charger on my bike. That doesn't sound right to me.

Does anyone have an idea of what modifications i can perform on my bike while still keeping it Learner legal?

I want to purchase a cruiser and do the following modifications; change the rake, lower the bike, increase the rear tyre size, swap the fenders, install a custom exhaust, change the headlight, change the forks, custom handlebars and grips, and maybe depending on the bike install a turbo charger.

I have a thing for custom motorcycles, and this is as close as i can come to legally riding a custom motorcycle on my Learner & Provisional licence. Three years is too long to wait for a nice custom bike.

Please, no lectures of any kind. Especially about the turbo charger, i like to keep things legal, I'm not planning on being a reckless rider.
