do you know that that was the ONLY time they had measure a ds3 turbocharger?How do you know that?

That might make sense. I know anti-lag is far more heat/stress on a turbo than flat out driving. And mikko just cruised through the rally so possibly so ( no real great way to say this really) his car may have been a situation where anti-lag came into play more than if he had been pushing causing more wear etc on the turbo.

No thats not right.Wherever you push or cruise inside a stage, antilag is on.The stress on turbo isn t different if you push or cruise.The turbo pressure is same,so heat/stress same.

probably and being lucky doesnt come togather.

Sorry for my ignorance on how wrc cars create anti-lag, but I know at our clubman level it is done by retarding ignition timing greatly when the throttle is lifted this allows unburnt fuel out of the combustion chamber and into the hot exhaust manifold. This creates a big egt spike that spools the turbo, which does cause far more wear than say if I were to never lift.

But you can´t build and count on your driver should act in a special way so turbo will be counted for passing an examination. As a manufacturer you must build for any situation. I think your theories are not countable.

No you can't build, but you can change the engine mapping for it as Anthony warmbold stated in his thread/ on his blog.
