Default Anti-lag question....

Hello guys,am building a mk2 with a cosworth engine for track days etc and was thinking of putting anti-lag on it... is it just a matter of changing the ecu ???

I have a L6 ecu with an upgraded chip... any help would be appreciated

thanks

Depending on the severity of the ALS you dont have to have the 247 or ICV mod.
Tbh it'll be rare that you'll not get black flagged for running ALS on a track day, its not worth the hassle imo.

MSD can do ALS/launch mods to L8, unsure about L6.

As said don't need the special shaft if you only want low/ish al, plenty of aftermarket ecu's support/run anti lag, to any degree that you want.

A maram shafted turbo, a modified Idle Control Valve, an ECU that supports running anti-lag. If you're sticking with the the Weber ECU (for example ), and using an 'MSD' L8 in place of an L6, you'll need the PF09 TPS to go with it.

And most important of all....shares in Shell
