Yes they do hence the ridiculous amount of flames coming out of the exhaust, it works by keepin the valve in the throttle body partially open and dumping mad gas into the engine, the unburnt air/fuel mixture then makes its way into the exhaust and ignites ( which is what spools the turbo ). At least I think that is how they work. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, and yes it gets very hot and is not healthy for the turbo. Oh well if you have an anti-lag system you probably arent too worried about turbo longevity . Interesting vid thanks for the post.

sorry guys, this doesn't look like anti-lag to me


this looks like a TBE and BOVs on a few of them, and just TBE on the others.


i shoot flames, and have no anti-lag....

it's just a function of how rich you're running.


ALS is more of a "BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG" (it "bangs" about twice a second, sometimes shooting flames.)

revving up followed by flame / backfire sounds like a rich tune / the natural breathyness of our tbes... (don't forget, the turbo gets HOT regardless of ALS... hot enough to ignite gasses if we have an un restrictive enough exhaust.


besides, i may be wrong, but i believe ALS explosions are BEFORE the exhaust turbine, and the increased pressure causes the turbine to spin, so you wouldn't be seeing AS MANY flames w/ that as you would with this.

lokos like a kit..

That's what I thought at first too, but I'm not sure if very many people at all could produce those kinds of flames from just a TBE and BOV

I figure it's gotta be anti-lag... you can hear quite a bit of snap, crackle, popping.. even more so then I've ever heard on a catless Suby

w/e it is, i think its a lil stupid....its just a pop and a flame for .9472 seconds. not worth it IMO

You are correct about the explosion occuring before the exhaust turbine, guess I didnt make that very clear, if the explosion happened after the turbine it wouldn't spool the turbo which is the whole point of the ALS setup. NJSTi05, they dont have the anti-lag on the cars so they can sit there and shoot flames/make popping noises, they are there to provide boost under what would normally be a no/low(at idle, between shifts, etc.) boost situation. I think they were just puttin on a little show because they can....

snap crackle POP!

hey guys

I was there and all the cars are running anti lag. Either through Motec/Autrnoic/Link computers

This was at Motorvation - that is run every year here in Perth

the club is www.perth-wrx.com (free plug!)

Thank you for clearing that up

I notice in the clip pretty much everyone is covering thier ears because of it

whether it was flamethrower kit or not, those were cool pics nonetheless...
