    Why not implement some type of high pressure boost from a cylinder of compressed air to offset the lag and eliminate the ALS system all together? I am sure some rule would prevent it but I am sure you could get something to work for short bursts over a limited duration.
    The very system you describe was used briefly by Ford and I think it was Subaru?... a year or 2 back.. The FIA quickly banned it.

    Was used by Ford in the Escort WRC back in the 90's. The FIA didn't actually ban it for a few rallies as it was technically legal as all the air going into the engine passed through the restrictor.

    Interesting "cheats" thread. Some are badly disguised, some well disguised and some like the pressure tank in the Fords are brilliant in their simplicity and legality!

    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    I can attest to that.
    I cant speak for all Gp N cars, but the few that ive seen all ran about 20 to 25 pound of boost.
    Full boost was usually achieved about the 3500rpm mark.
    with a 32mm restrictor, I think that about 6000rpm is the max for a WRC car before power is significantly resticed, and about 5500rpm in a Gp N car.

    Just found this article:
    About Audi Quatro which in North America ran a 40mm restrictor, 22 psi and made 380 BHP. Unrestriced it would produce at least 400BHP @ 25 psi although Id personally guess more towards the 500bhp mark.
