Gaz Walker Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 The price Sam is knocking them out at its probably cheaper to just get a new one! If you want I can send them to my turbo guy for him to take a look at? Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnd-mkiv Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I was under the impression that antilag was no good for road cars as it shortens the life of the turbo most probs the cause mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 just put the t-88 back on Not that old truck turbo, the GT4088 was far quicker (at least on the road, not max hp) May as well stick with another 4088 Jamie, otherwsie you have to go through all that mapping fun again. Maybe, not use the antilag so much this time round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yeah but antilag retards the timing so that the combustion is done with the exhaust valve open, but what Jamie is using is the 2step rev limiter, which doesnt retard the timing - unless Dan has set it to retard ?
