It's not full on launch control but it can be done on ecutek. ALS is also available with Ecutek. Not too many tuners here in the uk do it but it is widely used in Australia & USA.

Andy F was going to put the ALS on @ my last mapping session but it isn't switchable so I didn't go ahead with it.

Launch control is available if your car can use a "map switch" rom file. ALS is available as mentioned but not for European cars only JDM and yes it is actually switchable using the auto water spray button. So no reason not to go for it, as an added benefit the als rom for the JDM car also does away with the maf, it needs to be there but is not used.

Check with me on your car model and model year for suitability though.

suprised Andy didn't advise that.

best regards

Is that the GroupN 'MegaRom'? The OpenSource guys are in the early stages of testing/reverse engineering it. Does it have Knock control active as the ROM they have seems to have it disabled?

Wonder why Andy told me it wasn't switchable??? I have a 04 sti and I have an auto water spray from the JDM fitted.

Cheers for the info Bob.

I could tell you that the lambo gally is good for nearly 200mph but there'd be no point as it doesnt apply to you, you dont have one.
Maybe Andy thought there is no point in telling you about features which are not available to you as you dont have the right car for them.
just a thought.

I understand what your saying and I suppose I should've said exactly what Andy told me, he said he CAN put ALS on my car but it isn't switchable!

Thats correct Pete, it is not switchable on your Euro spec car. Bob clearly didn't bother viewing your profile to see what car you actually run before making his comment.

macmac, Bob would be surprised he didn't advise that
