not sure I didn't pay attention before hand. It wasn't for money and I wanted to try out thebottle with the new tires. Hooked prett good IMO. Good run though, I can't complain. I think some one sid after the fact he trapped 130ish but still fun

Quick evo and honorable death. What is anti-lag turbo exactly? Just a turbo engineered to not have any lag? I would think that's more of a combination of engine and turbo than just the turbo, but I'm no expert.
I agree on the hazards particularly at the point he used them. It seemed like he had just gotten a length or two on you and decided the race was over then.

Anti lag is something else. It's expensive to run on the street but the WRC cars use it. I'm no engineer but I believe the basic idea is too keep the turbo spooled to the gills even off boost. Like Hennytime mentioned, what we saw the Evo do is called a two step. Hold the clutch in. Hold the gas in. Let your tune determine where the RPM's hold. From the factory the ECU's rev ceiling is 5K RPM's IIRC. The sky's the limit once you reflash the ECU.
It's also highly unlikely the car has a 60 trim turbo since the Evo's 4G63 motor requires a reverse scroll setup and I've never heard of one. He's probably running a 50 trim. IMHO it's probably the best turbo for the Evo if you intend only to use pump gas. It's also really unlikely that his car actually put down 500whp. Best I've seen with a 50 trim was a stroked 2.3L Evo VIII putting down 496whp. The best thing about the 50 trim isn't the peak power though. It's the torque. You'll make peak power at around 7K RPM's but you'll make peak torque around 4K RPM's. My point is that he's most likely putting down about 400whp/415wtq on a Dynojet...give or take 15whp/20wtq. It's still a strong car but you'll need to go bigger than a 50 trim to see 500whp on an Evo. True story.
