Still rekon you would be better off with a newer smaller turbo off a late car, the spoll time diference is amazing, go test drive a new car and see,
the turbo`s are cheep and relable, try worldwide ebay, quite a few on in the usa , and I beleve you would still be in reg`s, your TD05 is big but you can not use the potential due restrictor so used the advantage of the little un`s
Have a good one

4 events!

therefore they are consumables! which was my point.

I am not saying mappign won't improve the life of the turbo, it can make the load ont he turbo easier by reducing egts for example to perhaps allow the inducer to recover, but the fact still remains that the more benenficial the anti lag the less the life of the turbo.

That is all I am saying.

We run ALS on our group N cars my own Prodrive car has only consumed one turbo since 2000 the car is running on Prodrive management and is ultra reliable

4 events are at least 8 competitive days, no night stages over here, and our lowest winter time temps are 14deg C. On the FIA southamerican championship and national championship we do around 100 kms. of special stages each day, so that would be around 800 competitive kms. in 4 events, that seems good enough to me . And like rally colin has said, in most of the cases a properly mapped ALS, would let your turbo last long enough. I did use it on my everyday car once in a while and never had a problem with it, really I find the whole ALS = dead turbo more of a myth. Only real problem is that brake servo doesn't work anymore if ALS is programed to run 0 vacuum .

Definetly like Paul has mentioned the best way to go would be a larger displacement engine, but normally that is not allowed. Down here the "open class" rally cars are not allowed to race on the national championship or southamerican championship since both are FIA sanctioned. But we have quite a few clubman events were they do race.
