Brakes are for braking not the engine !

ALS makes a massive differance as its supposed to, the heat is also massive !

Guys,
why do you all think there is no engine braking. The whole point of ALS is to have all the pre side of the throttle pressurised. There is still a relative vacuum in the plenum. The engine is not running or should I say using the boost when OFF throttle. combustion is retarded so much that the explosion takes place with the exhaust valves opening, firing the expanding gasses into the manifold and Turbo making it spin but also heat up the manifold and turbo.
The Car is making no extra power, when you lift off on a tight corner the car reacts predictably , is doesn't try to rev up when you dip the clutch to change gear ( not required with a dog box) but still, the engine does not try to rev away . In fact its only just about running let alone have the power to "Push " the car forward. almost all the available fuel is being burnt to produce thrust for the turbine blades.
Where the car feels different is once you are back on the throttle there is no time delay for the engine to come on boost. That's all. there is no gain in power when "off " throttle.

Engine braking is not only required but essential when rallying, I used to use trailing throttle braking regularly on poor surfaces ( forests ). Approach a bend at a slightly higher speed than normal, for a right hander a little flick to the left ( destabilize the car), then steer right, sharp lift of throttle and back on the throttle again ( no Turbo Lag) and feed in the over steer.
