I will try one when we get in the new year and when there is traction on the road again,

You can get it here a bit cheaper,and that´s always great.

Need to think about our clutch switch assuming there is one, I haven't looked... reading the documents you don't want the clutch switch to switch state until the clutch is fully engaged to give some sympathy to the synchros.

On MRT there is a whole forum on this... change the view to all topics. http://www.mrtrally.com.au/forums/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=24

Interesting to see how it works with the six speed. Think it is up to it?

I´m sure that the six speed is up to it,

MRT makes launch control with Ecutek but only on the six speed,and i dont think They would do it if it will break

Thumbs up

I was just discussing this recently with Harvey, he is now setting up a similar system on his car.
I used to race with one on my Cossie some years back, as well as launch control it also helped between gears to keep the boost up
