So i have it on my p1 was told not to use it by the previous owner as its aggressive and chews the turbo, although when i had it mapped i was told its ok to run it until the egt gauge reaches 700 degrees then turn it off.
I have used it reving on the spot for 10 seconds or so but never driven with it on, i quite fancy using it but not if its gonna fook my turbo as i dont think it can be rebuilt. will need a whole new core so around 1400 with fitting etc.
Has anyone else got it? Do you use it? opinions?
cheers..

A good friend of mine also has it on his P1, he uses Simtek management but the anti-lag is pretty mild mannered TBH. Not sure if it destroys a turbo if you use it in moderation but out of interest what turbo are you running? He's running a TD05 20G IIRC.

its all to do with heat transfer iirc through the turbo shaft itself, i seam to remember all the big power yb's runing AL used to use marum (sp) shaft turbos which either disapated or where more ressitant fromt the high temps that built up when running AL

i did a rally experience day in an evo6 with anti-lag, it was running an aftermarket turbo but got smashed all day long, the guy said they only service it every couple of months.

yea the main problem is the heat. The turbo is sitting there spinning, and if you are sat still, there's no air going over intercooler or coming into engine bay, so thats air and engine bay temps getting high...and then the internal temp (components) of the turbo also climbs quick.
If you've got an uprated turbo, they can take it pretty well...but standard turbo's arent really designed for it.
Its not down to servicing...its literally down to the heat thats generated through extended use...and how well the metal components can handle it.

if your still on your standard ihi turbo..wouldnt use it too much. what management? chances are any road going anti lag stuff is kinda watered down..

Im running a GT3076R with gems ecu, was told its the ecu the rally boys use.
So i should be ok if i keep an eye on the egt temps, does it put more stress on the engine itself or worst case scenerio is a fooked turbo?

should be alright playing around with it on a gt30 but unless your using is purposefully why bother at all.

mate tried it on his cossy powered mini....made 0.5bar boost positive on idle....he shit it as turbo went see through it got that hot that quick. never touched it again, same with another mate on his vw powered dragster...tried it last week, pops and bangs and everything egts hot very quick, soon switched it off. it does fuck turbos up and pretty quick.
mates cossy had £2k worth of turbo and im sure that was 2nd hand, to run anti-lag properly you need the turbo to be marlam shafted of something like that otherwise you'll kill it very quick.

I've got it on my evo. I don't use it that much really. Mine cuts out when temps reach a certain level.
All hell breaks loose with it on 
I'm running it with autronic.
