Doesn't anti lag require lots o' engine rebuilds?

Apparently Prodrive's version for its P2 was specifically designed for road use - it isn't as aggressive as the one used in rally cars. That said, I'm not sure how even a "tamer" anti-lag system would affect the longevity of, say, a daily driver...but I know that in the P2 you could switch it off for normal driving and only use it when you were 'puttin' the whip on it,' so to speak.

Anything that causes Clarkson to lose his lunch is something I want in my car!
