This is getting painful. The ALS does not "throw" or pump out
excess carbon or oil from the engine. Its a deliberate solution
installed in turbo-charged race cars to prevent turbo-lag and keep
the turbo spinning. If you have sat in a stock turbo-charged car,
you will notice a significant surge after the engines have reached
a certain rpm. Before reaching that rpm, the turbo is not
generating enough boost...
The ALS "wakes up" the turbo by igniting the air fuel mixture even
tho the car is off-throttle. This will keep the turbine spinning
and hence when the driver applies gas, its takes less time for the
turbo to generate boost (in other words, reduce lag time).
To answer your qn bmw_lover (you really mean "to prevent turbo lag"
not anti-lag) keeping your right foot down whilst accelerating
around a corner is not always a good idea, anyone will tell you
that. What you can do is "left foot braking", which is to
accelerate(with your right foot) and brake (with your left foot
unless you have more than 2 feet) at the same time. The
accelerating will keep the turbo spinning whilst the braking...
well, you know what it does. Try this at your own expense (meaning
leave guardrails and other humans out of your madness), btw it
might boil your brake fluids too... but if you are nuts enough to
do it then... you have bigger probs than just boiling brake
fluids.
