cant go wrong with a bit of anti-lag.
great down dark country lanes at night and for when people are driving up your **** in town
as above, blank of the dumpvalve and get some induction.
money well spent IMHO - Mocom Racing Installed and mapped my Simtek

yes mine was linked by the webdesigner and is wrong, simtek's website should be up and running soon and I believe will be www.simtekecu.com

Bob R also does Simtek in Swindon...
Anti lag is great but use it dont abuse it...I've had some fun not moving before and had bit of smoke kick off the turbo wrap, does get hotter with use. Just switch on when in attack mode and want rally car sound from the off, no dip during changes (just feels constant) and then switch off when finished/lift off. Not sure I'd want use it round the nurb ring with it on all the way on every lap but I'm hopefully going to be near 500 bhp or on the mark early next year so engine, oil, EGT temps are always monitored to keep tings safe.

Had my Simtek fitted and anti lag set up last january, sounds ok for a while but the novelty soon wears off, save your money and spend it on something that actually does something

can it be fitted using a remap of the standard ecu in a version 6 type r? i'm getting mine remapped soon for a small increase in power and to use 95octane and dont want the cost of aftermarket ecu's

Run ALS on the Ring on a Public day and your day will likely be cut short! They kicked me off for a Nurspec ffs.
Allowed back on with the Bung fitted, i lived there for a while but its near 2 years since i was there. Dynamix is a frequent Ringer so will know what the marshalls are like now.
They do like to target Brit plated cars for noise tests so switch that on and they will come looking for you LOL.

on over run on my newage sti I see -600mbar with als off. .and -200mbar with it on.. not a massive change but enough and noticable on gearchange, wouldn't want much more with servo on brakes.. as the braking with als on is noticable harder pedal effort needed than with it off..
On just launch control I get 0.5bar of boost and with ALS on at launch 0.8bar..
So noticable performance gains for mild als on a road car..

Although you can have fun on the roads around there (particularly the tunnels) with ALS
Anti lag makes for very jerky driving but it is good fun and even though some say they tire of the sounds i believe it is motoring prozac and always puts a smile on my face
Wouldnt use it on track though as flat shifting keeps 1.5 bar of boost between changes anyway. Useful as part of launch control for a quarter mile though.
