aye mate, just read about the GT4s group A WRC celicas

they had the bits fitted, but was an option to switch it on/off on the ECU etc Although only 2500 were made, and tbh i bet its great when its switched on

Antilag is good for WRC cars, but isn't really street legal due to flames out the exhaust, don't mean a small pop either, i mean like afterburner stlyee.
It basically retains the same amount of thermal energy to allow the turbo to keep spinning.
The smart option for street cars is to use a shot of nos when you lift off, like 25BHP, just to boost the exhaust gas energy.
As turbos work primarily from heat energy, not from the blowing effect of the exhaust gasses.
Still it's feckign cool to be able to lift of and come back on the power with boost.
It's worth noting it's not to do with extra boost at low rpm's, it's to reduce the lag effect when the turbo is on song and you lift off, get the boost back in and the car surges, it's more a a wall of power waiting for you.

7000miles is a little optimistic for the turbo's life. WRC's trash the turbo after one weekend. and they are only running it on the stages.

7000miles is not of effective hard use with ALS turned on.
The EGR's of WRC cars is lower than road cars, they srun in the region of 10-11:1CR's
It's the exhaust valves too that get burnt up by it reducing engine perf.
I'm not saying it's bad, it's planned on a 2L turbo on the brew, but 7k is road 7k, rather than constant abuse.

old news - the only thing that bothers me is that a wastegate is boost dependant not throttle dependant.

Can't have optimal setup for an EW on a roadcar due to it bein illegal for exhaust to vent to atmosphere forward of the backbox... most engines don't develop enough boost to warrant one anyway. You prob already know that tho

hmmm 40mm external wastegate. Still waiting for the right engine to use it on.

External wastegates can't be illegal? on a few road cars.

And how do u work this one out?

A recirc valve is the exact same as a dump valve. They both relieve the air pressure. The only diff is that the recirc vents the air back into the intake and a DV vents it into the atmosphere.

more expensive turbo cars have external wastegates. the old citroen CX GTi turbo 2 had an external wastegate
