are you rallying the car? If not forget it for the gains, if you want the noise and flames then it can be done, typically with an aftermarket ECU which supports ALS such as a Motec, Autronic, GEMS, Simtek, Link and so on.

ALS is unlikely to be any benefit on the 1/4 mile, if it is, you're changing gear too slow! Better for 1/4 mile is full throttle shift, which can be triggered by clutch or ignorance, and can provide no loss of boost between gears.

as said above an als system is only any good for a real rally car NOT a road car.
if you just want the pops and bangs then go for it! we did and we did it with a motec system which was supplyed and fitted by zen performance.

As already stated various options are available. One of those is the HYDRA EMS. Again as already been stated, whilst I asked about the use of this, both PowerStation and Tracktive said it is useless unless you are rallying. Since I am a big kid it has been activated by Tracktive on my HYDRA though. As also stated, things like flat shifting is more beneficial along with launch control (for 1/4m and track use).

fitting? An anti lag system is not a device, and a motorsport engineering course isn't going to give you the knowledge you need to properly map an ecu for it. Do a search and find out what you can about what ALS actually is, or can be, or sometimes isn't, and what you need to get it on a car.

If it's pops and bangs you want, then your mapper may be able to create an ALS effect using ignition retard (or something like that). I don't know if it can be done on your ECU - I know it can be done on a newage ECU.

Hydra Ecu's are worth looking at. Give Innovate Performance a call and speak to James about it. He's very good.
He's currently putting an ecu on my mates 320 bhp (at the wheels) mk3 astra gsi. Hoping to take it to 400bhp. About 470 if the nos is used!
He's going to have launch control and anti lag on it.
Give the company name a search on google to get the details.

So fitting an ALS does the risk factor sit around turbo failure or are there other area's of risk to consider.
I should imagine it gives your exhaust system a fair workout, though with a complete and decent system fitted should damage be minimal, if non what so ever...

If you only run a mild AL map and don't use it to often it will be fine. The exhaust does run hot in a short space of time, 5 mins and it's very hot but soon cools once you have switched it off. I made my own exhaust system and it seems to be holding up ok. There is some baffle rattle that was not there before the AL was fitted so I may just nip the back box in a vise to fix that. I'm sure it will be fine on your car......it never does enough miles to damage anything bit like mine really.

So if it's just the flames (check my scooby <---) and noise you're after check if it can be mapped in.
Easy enough to remove too.
(* Just wish it was switchable!!!!!!)

am i right in guessing that if i set up an ALS i would need to put my decat back on? im guessing it may do damage to it if it can do other damage to an exhaust? i could be completely wrong i just don't know much about ALS

ALS is the muts nuts I have a gemms with Anti-Lag on my RA and i love it It does'nt kill your turbo if only used in short blasts,I do not run mine for more than a couple of minutes a time,but in those few minutes its a right laugh you see cars in you mirrow change lane as they feel the blast of the pops n bangs and then the flame comes and they can only think your cars about to blow up So if its that what your after then get one,you can get the cheeper option of having a map done that can give you some pops n bangs on your ecu (i had it done on my old uk classic) but trust me its not even in the same leauge as a propper ALS
Now useing it for track use i didnt notice any diffrance to my 1/4 mile times with the ALS on or off.im now starting hillclimbing this year and now this will benefit the use of Anti-Lag.

Fantastic comment regarding folk following you with ALS armed....how funny is that.
I will either go for Motec or Gem's....not gonna mess with my ECU, plus I want it switchable

The simtek supports switchable maps as well as anti lag and launch control if you want it, I had mine fittted and mapped by Martyn at Alan Jeffery - Engine Tuner It is good for a laugh and for scaring kids on scooters that try to sit on your back bumper.
Got a bit of a soundclip of mine with the als switched on:
