CheersHilly<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Launch Control is where the timing is retarded soooo much that the combustion occurs in/near the exhaust manifold. ( APS dealer explained this to me, if I'm wrong, don't have a go plz.... only what I was told.. )Makes the car go Brap,Brap,Brap.I had it installed on my AWD with a Unichip. Works fantastic because it creates boost at revs when in neutral, just what a manual wants.Down side is that the immense heat and stress on the components makes short work of a turbo.Mine spat a turbo shaft using it, so be wary and use is sparingly if you do. Can be compared to anti-lag, although slightly different.If you flat-shift with launch control, you get an effect like a rally car as it blipps and holds boost and revs while you change gear..It's awesome with an AWD as the punch out of gears is incredible... With a manual T making that much grunt, I dare say it would just step the A$$ out on every gear change.It's activated by a switch on the clutch. Depress clutch and it's active. It's a good idea to put a switch inline of the clutch switch so you can turn it off after you have launched it....Go the edit you good thing Well done <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I think the Edit launch control is a hell of as lot less dangerous, efficient, and easier than that :lol:

Geeseman Legacy Donating Member 1,805 Member For: 22y 11m 5d Location: Sydney Posted 10/02/05 10:48 AM Posted 10/02/05 10:48 AM You still running stock internals, Bruce?Raising the rev limit and putting out that much power might cause troubles with stock internals although Im just speculating here.What boost are you running at peak?

Without any tuners getting involved in the discussion I would be interested in your personal thoughts of the benefit of the edit for a manual T, things like removing torque settings and other differences you can make against the piggyback units?BTW excuse my ignorance but what does that give you in rwkw?Once again mate congrats and look forward to seeing further results as you would probably be the first Modded manual to go down the edit path. let you know in a couple of days
