Q » How does a turbo-lag reduction system (e.g., anti-lag) function?
17 Oct, 2025
A » A turbo-lag reduction system, such as anti-lag, functions by maintaining exhaust flow when the throttle is closed, typically through ignition timing adjustments and fuel injection. This keeps the turbocharger spinning, minimizing the delay in boost pressure when accelerating. Anti-lag systems often involve retarding ignition timing and injecting fuel into the exhaust manifold, creating combustion and pressure that keeps the turbocharger engaged, enhancing throttle response and performance.
