i forget what it's called, but there's a setting people use for racing that continues to dump fuel between shifts to keep the turbo spinning (also at start to boost the turbo before the run). the exhaust is so hot it creates its own combustion. you can also do this at idle (like the guy mentioned with the haltech). you cut the spark off, but continue to press on the gas and fuel ignites through the exhaust and voila -- gunshots out the rear.
i'm going by memory because i know of someone doing this, but it was explained to me about two years ago. i never have done this myself. i want to say it's called "anti-lag," but i'm practically guessing. do a search for anti-lag (anti lag, antilag) and see if you get results.
edit: whoo-hoo for memory!
:
MISFIRING SYSTEM
aka 'ALS = Anti Lag System', aka 'Bang bang' system
Another solution to turbo lag is known as the misfiring system shown in Sudou's Lancer Evolution III. This is not a normal feature on street cars and is a system usually used in race cars only, particularly turbocharged rally cars. As explained before, turbo systems can suffer from lag effect, especially when the driver lifts his foot off the gas to make a turn. This generates less power which in turn generates less exhaust gas and lowers the pressure needed to drive the turbine. When the turbine looses this pressure it slows down and needs time to spin up again, which creates lag in power. The ALS prevents this by sensing when the driver lifts his foot off the gas/throttle and injects fuel directly into the exhaust system itself. This fuel then detonates creating a mini-explosion in the exhaust manifold and the force of the explosion is enough to maintain boost pressure needed to keep the turbo up to speed even when the car is slowing down. This virtually eliminates all turbo lag and maxmizes power for a car after it brakes and comes out of a turn. These systems are not legal on street cars and due to the constant fuel detonations, eventually destroys a turbo and exhaust system every 500-1000 km in race cars, and likely faster in street cars.
ah yes, initial d. (say with accent) "misfiring system." haha, oh me.
