Like the title asks, is there anyone else who would like an Anti-Lag setup for our cars?
Now before you throw things at me, I know that our Turbo spools up real quick because it's so tiny, but come on, admit it. You totally want that sweet sweet flame spewing goodness that everyone else gets.
It just crossed my mind because I know that a local guy that lives near me has one. (kicked my ass on a red light pull...)
I also began to look up what an Anti Lag system essentially is and what exactly it does. There are couple methods to achieve this and there are also a few risks added by using this. Unless you do some supporting mods and put a bit more money in the engine, you may run a higher risk of engine failure.
I was watching a few videos as well that really helped explain what it is and why it's used.
I myself would love to see an ALS made for our cars hopefully with options to add some supporting mods like a stronger exhaust manifold and some ways to try and cool the turbo down more. Probably those heatshield things I see on Supras and R34 at shows.
Just in case you don't know exactly how an Anti lag works or why it would be so great:
How a Turbo Charger works
What is Turbo Lag
Anti Lag system: "IGNITION DELAY"
Anti Lag system: "BYPASS VALVE"

Article from Rallycars.com explaining Anti Lag systems
I figure if we're gonna squeeze all the power we can out of this tiny little rocket we might as well go big or go home. Right?
Please what are you opinions?
Are you opposed to it, if so, Why?
Would we need more mods to help support it? IE: Exhaust manifold, different turbo, ECU tweak, wastegate change?
