Anti-Lag.... Who Actually Finds It a Benefit ?

[spiritof'76]

My car came with Anti-Lag but i've yet to turn it on for more than a few seconds........... then turn it off again as it sounds horrible

Is anybody actually using it and finding it gives you anything of worth If so what is the correct way to use it and under what conditions will it do what it's supposed to do

Once it's on via the switch does it just stay on regardless or does it cancel itself after a period of time

Is it any benefit at all on the road or is it nothing more than a gimmick for non competition cars......... if so why does it get fitted to road cars Just for bragging rights & popping and farting in the car park

Would like to know a little more before experimenting with it Only thing i do understand is that it's not kind to the Turbo If it's all a bit pointless maybe i should ditch it and have my idle control back

I use it on back road thrashes, little bit of help but it's best when 100% throttle as it stutters when half throttle so it's on throttle or fully on for me.

Mine turns of 10 seconds after releasing throttle

got it but never needed it to bloody noisy

It doesn't bother me too much having it, when the cars re mapped/set up I'll lose it anyway

Firstly, you only have to see it's description to know what it is designed to do, so you have to understand the difference between boost threshold and lag before you can get to grips with how it works .

I never used how iit was supposed to be used, but did love the sound on backroad thrashing

[FletchCossie]

Anti lag is meant to do something other than scare the shit out of people???????????

Right, do understand a bit better now Probably would be more useful to me now than before......... as the old gearbox didn't necessarily cause a rev drop on the change up if not using the clutch but those days are gone now well, for the time being anyway

Now, where did i put those keys

I use it when doing some flat out driving as it makes the car feel N/A! Superb although yes very noisy....also great for when a tit is on your rear bumper switch that on and watch them back the fuck right off!Also for idling on the drive and switching als on when an old lady is walking past to see if you can catch her stockings alight!

MSD Supermarket ALS is a complete waist of money

Ok for saxo driving tossers but thats about it

I just dont get why people want this on there cars

[The Radman]

MSD does that stand for magnetic sump distributor?

unfortunatley mate ALS has replaced the dump valve noise, its just another toy for most. if people had PROPPER ALS then i suspect they would cr@p themselves and then end up in the nearest hedge

[rsnissan]

mine drove like a big CC engine on really when going flat out through the gears

that was the mountune/SCS set up though not the MSD one which I have heard people have not been very impressed with

Is there actually any difference between the P8 mountune/ L8 MSD stratagies? or is it purely down to the amount of bypassed air?

I know the MSD L8 "mild ALS" conversions just use a standard bypass throttle body with a standard ISCV that has been drilled to 8mm. My mates saff has it, and I'm not mega impressed with it to be honest, sometimes it pulls 0psi, sometimes it dosn't seem to have any affect at all?

Where as I have a mountune spec P8 ALS board, and a ported bypass throttle body and mountune "top hat" ISCV that came off Ian Howells old car, which even on a T4 with a 247 shaft pulled decent PSI with the "proper" ALS on? ... I am going to put it on my saff soon
