I run both on my saff, very rarely use the Launch control tbh, i did once and shat myself.. fish tailing like fook up the road from 5k revs and trying to change into 2nd etc...

Anti-lag again, rarely use it tbh, fooking loud though and BIG flames......

Yes, there's a little black switch which you have to hold onto, hence why i said i shat myself..

In the Evo i had it on it was just mapped in, so just hold the revs and fooking go..

My ecu had it all set up when I bought it, yes its a bit of fun but for the money its just not worth it IMO. My new engine doesn't have it and I sold all the ALS stuff as I couldn't see the point have Ł5/600 worth of stuff that I used to upset people in the town centres etc and i didn't need the extra 1/10th of the second better spool on the track

i planned on having it on my 450bhp engine but was advised against it as the diff wouldnt last. so if you havnt got time and money to keep replacing the diff forget it.

But surely any launch, be it with or without LC will put stress on transmission lol???

Don't forget you lose your idle speed valve when using a ALS valve aswell

Unless you have a spangly ECU that can run a remote one aswell ie T6

if your ecu is remapped correctly this doesnt affect the cold starting of the car thats noticable, the only maps that do are the old group a rally ALS strategies
