Electrical Supercharger / Turbo Anti-lag

[avos at cochlear.com.au]

     I've read about this motec computer and apparently it works by when 
     the computer detects throttle back off it either retards the timing so 
     much that the fuel does not explode and therefore gets to the exhaust 
     un-burnt, or some systems completely disable the spark. As soon as the 
     fuel hits the hot exhaust it burns and spools up the turbo. Again I 
     agree that it would not be the best for the turbo, but those flames 
     coming out the exhaust would certainly attract some attention!!

Most rally cars inject fuel into the exhaust manifold and it works a treat.
     
Dosen't do much for the turbo MTBF :) - That's why rally cars are always 
spurting flames and making loud farting noises when they are off and on the 
throttle. - it's not because they ate chilli for lunch.
     
Back to EFI talk, you can apparently get some kinda motec kit to do 
anti-lag.

Can't hold back anymore - just got to throw my $$$2. into the 
fire.   Steam might work, haven't thought it thru, but what I 
suspect might be lethal is Nitrous Oxide.  Think of about this. 
Size the turbo for best power and boost without regard for
lag. Will probably be sluggish on mid load spin up. For instant 
acceleration, give it a small shot of nitrous oxide/gasocrap
