I'm not sure how much the AL/LC costs to be activated, as for it being a young mans thing - I'll only use it now and again whereas you 'young pups' would leave it on all the time and destroy your turbo and engine.

You cant guarantee you wont destroy your turbo and engine just using it "now and again"

It all depends how strong the anti-lag is set, for road use it would have to be moderate at it's strongest and provided it's used properly and is programmed correctly then it will do no harm.

It's already activated Glenn but it will rarely get used and Bob knows exactly how to set it up for safety as well.

It's to do with Dave Rowe and the way that he has the fuel tables set up apparently, he sets them up differently to every other Simtek mapper.

The car is now booked in with Bob Rawle for the 5th of July for a Simtek fitment with launch control and anti-lag of course.

I can't wait to see how it goes after the very boring running in period (which I would not like to do again ), I have no doubt with the freshly built engine and Litchfield LM400 billet turbo that it will go like the proverbial off a stick.

Many thanks to the engine pixie for all his hard work and having to listen to me change my plans several times during the engine build, it started off as a head gasket plus a few other jobs and ending up becoming a full strip down and rebuild.

Looking the mutts nuts Ty,

Really looking forward to seeing this one now, the work gone into it by the pixie is nothing short of incredible.
I really hope the end result with power and driveability is more than you hoped for as i think it will be.

I remember when Mervil had A/L on his blob and to follow him from Penarth to the show in Ponty was surreal with all these people staring at it.
Dogs were going mental and car alarms were going off. It was awesome

He said it did destroy his MPG though. but what the hell eh !

Congrats

And there's me thinking that the Pixie's real identity would never be revealed just like The Stig, Batman or Superman.

Learn to handle it? The secret to good driving is to anticipate and expect problems and always drive within the limits of yourself, the car, conditions, and the road - remember slow in, fast out not fast in, knock the lamb out.

You are right though I can't wait for the drive home from Bob's.

Thanks Marc, what's MPG go to do with owning an Impreza?

The AL will be a new toy at first, I wonder how long it will take before I'm bored with the AL?





























Never is the answer, although it won't be turned on all the time.
