It shoots a flame through the turbo to keep it spooled fully, so if your RPM’s go too low, you don’t have to wait for the turbo to spool back up.
an anti-lag-system basically sends a flame through the exhaust manifold into the turbocharger to make it spin fast and produce boost even with low engine-rpm, so that there is always big-ass boost when you need it.
where does the flame come from then?
Anti lag normally changes the ignition timing so that the engine fires later, this causes more of the fuel to burn in the manifold and keeps the turbo spinning while you are of the throttle. It can also inject extra fuel when you are off the throttle to keep the turbo spinning. Some systems also have a bypass valve that sends air from the intake into the manifold to help spinning the turbo. Basically when you are on the throttle the engine runs normally and when you release it the ignition changes to keep the turbo spinning. This is to reduce the turbo lag when you get on the throttle again.
