DeltaNu1142 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 So, I've only recently learned about this, even though it's been around for several decades... Wikipedia has some interesting info about it. Is there anyone pursuing this for a road car (aside from Prodrive as mentioned on Wikipedia)? Aside from what is likely a ridiculous waste of fuel (and the racket), what downsides are there to an anti-lag system? Does anyone here have any experience with ALS? Any tuners experimenting with it?

DeltaNu1142 Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 Downsides: bye bye turbo. Due to temperatures? Or a higher duty cycle? Tits mcgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aracheon Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Due to temperatures? Or a higher duty cycle? Explosions in the turbine housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_sheen Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 ive heard stories.....of car fires. i love the idea of it though. plus nothing says "my car has bigger balls than yours" than shooting 4 foot fireballs and making every child within a quarter-mile radius take cover behind their parent.

ehsnils Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 If trying to get rid of lag I would rather look at twin scroll turbos or compound turbo configurations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
