Is it the MIVEC or Turbo????
Yeah but you dont get near the same power 
Holding the brake will keep the boost but not the RPMs. Imagine a dyno.... 15psi at 3k or 15psi at 5k... which has more power Brake boosting works but isnt as nice as kicking the clutch (On stock turbos)... a turbo the size of mine now brake boosting would work much better because of how long it takes to respool.

oh man... too bad you don't live in socal... eoc puts on stuff for 200 bucks a day and it's JUST evos... or we team up with the local trank junky crowd and it's like 100 bucks and we get our own session.

There isn't any reason why we shouldn't share the info.
It will be quite interesting as it came in from another tuner with some issues. I will explain with pics.
I will post a link here in this thread in just a couple of days. Stay tuned, just a couple of days.

But anti-lag would also be usefull on the drag strip....
you know... i prefer no lift shift as the nomenclature for drag racing style antilag or launch control antilag... the other antilag is a different beast and people get confused.

Although I've been spending a fair amount of time reading matweb specs and NASA research (UEET program) papers on materials and coatings which could be used to increase EGT limits. It's very interesting! Check out Sylramic i-BN if you get a chance. In any case, anti-lag is about as expensive as slipping the clutch around all the corners.

Al is correct ..there most certainly is more resolution in the mapping. Someone had previously said you were wrong, but in fact you were right. The evo 9 has added two more load sites .. and extended the load range in its mapping.

Of course since I dont do that I bought a damned $1500 clutch assembly but even still I would only replace the clutch packs every few races for a few hundred as opposed to the turbo... then again my turbo is too small now anyways so maybe I should try to autocross it w/ ALS.... would be funny to see a 500+ WHP Evo on an autocross course with no lag what so ever
