Depends if it is proper antilag or just bang bang!

If it was antilag, running it for 20 seconds wouldnt see your turbo last long!

Only used to run mine for 20-30sec bursts on my Evos, wasn,t fully blown WRC style anti-slag though, just more gimmick really, pops & bangs, that was via Autronic ecu..

LOL @ Peanuts.

If it is proper anti-lag (which I doubt many, if any, run for road use), then unless you need that response when coming back on throttle and you don't mind your turbo being a serviceable item..... little point really.

As for the pseudo anti-lag "wannabee" fart maker..... even less point than above!

In the majority, it's a marketing tool, just as the old flamer kits used to be.... that was until everyone thought the flamer kit was a bit.... well, chav.

I run launch control with boost (1bar at launch), which obviously uses the proper antilag strategies. I winced every time I used it for launching on the strip this year..... I'm sure that may of helped my previous turbo to expire.
