This system can be enabled with the use of aftermarket ECU provided they have such an option.
This involves rough idling as the engine has to keep the turbo spooling so that when throttle is applied, full boost is delivered and hence eliminate of turbo lag.
Not recommended because ALS will kill your turbo, engine, and exhaust pretty quick. However wrc/race/track cars can afford to rebuild and change their turbo several stages.
yep heard tt like after 5000km the turbocharger and the exhaust manifold must be replaced...
uses ECU to retard the timing of spark plug of ONE of the cylinder i am told... so tt the explosion happens when the unburnt air fuel mixture is leaving the cylinder and halfway in the exhaust manifold... therefore this explosion happens beside the turbines of the turbocharger so it will keep spooling even when foot is off accelerator.. and then u will see backfire then hear veh loud "bang bang" tt will wake up the whole neighbourhood, irritate the person tailgating u and draws TP to u like bees to honey

rough idea only.. feel free to correct
