Yup, the reason you hear that on race cars (like the Prodrive WRX and the WRC car) is because they us an anti-lag system and can afford to run a new turbo every race.

no...i have it in the stock location...i dont have the $300+ bov kit everyone else has...i bought the $100 Sard racing R2D2 bov and made my own flange... i was not about to spend $200 on a fancy-smanshy under-the-tmic-y-pipe-flange
