Default Too much ALS.......

...can split your turbo in half.


Had to buy a new one. Poo.
Oh well, saves cleaning the old one I guess.....

Because he is a animal.

I dont think the anti lag was all to blame. I think the 40,000 miles and 20 odd ring trips played there part too.

Infact you only used the anti lag about twice didnt you Chris?

Yeah twice....10 laps at the ring!!
Nah used to use it a bit, but yeah I reackon 40,000 miles ain't too bad for the turbo. But the crack...right the way through!
The Anti-lag is mild, but it makes so much difference even on a turbo that size, you notice it.
