This is just SILLY fast!

That'll be the antilag?

Ahhh. How does that work?

Does it keep the turbo spooling at full boost when hitting the limiter? Does it even hit the limiter or is that the anti-lag's own rev limiting system?

I've never bounced my car off its limiter so don't know what the turbo does when it happens.

Un-burnt fuel + hot manifold = BANG = expansion of gas to keep turbo spinning without generation of power
 
Sounds like a combination of ALC and launch control but I could be wrong. The LC will set a false rev limiter at a preset point - say 5,000rpm. You just plant the throttle, and the LC sets the revs for you to 5k. As said, the ALC will be building boost 'artificially' by squirting fuel directly into the turbo. Since the turbo is so hot, it ignites, causing the turbo to spin and produce boost, even though the engine isn't under load.

As you come off the clutch, the engine's already at high boost (no spool time) so you get power from the off - helps when you come off the the throttle for gearchanges and corners too since it'll keep the boost nice and high. It also creates huge flames out the rear end. :D

The downside? Your turbo will last about 1000 miles at best on an aggressive setting. It's also pretty illegal for road use due to the flames. ;)
