upside, it's a great toy for showing off at shows/trackdays.

downside, it can eat your turbo if you use it too much without the correct turbo.

eventually i'll have it on my series 2 but stricly for showing off and clowning about. unless you're building a monster hill climb or similar competition car then it isn't really worth it in terms of performance gain but it's still fairly cool in my opinion.

I have it on my s1 and it is running gotech and its really if you have a bigger turbo like a stage 3 or t34 but must have a maram shaft preferable left handed, and the difference is it stops the lag so the car will boost upto 1 bar from 1500 rpm and then at 3500rpm or thereabouts the turbo will take over. when you back off the throttle or change gear it pops and fires through the exhaust like carzy, gotta be carefull in residential areas and the of the plods as its a defo section 59 noise act.
anti lag can be mapped but it can't be on closed loop lambda.
