i have to write the reaction mechansim that accounts for the products formed in this reaction,

CH3C(CH3)2-CH=CH2 + HCl --> CH3-C(CH3)2-CH(Cl)-CH3 + CH3-C(CH3)(Cl)-CH(CH3)-CH3

I think this is a Sn1 reaction, but some of the stuff i have been reading makes me second guess myself and think it is a E1 reaction.

this is clearly electrophilic addition
