Start by dragging the clutch out slowly and just build it up, Martyn from Engine Tuner has been running a standard 5 speed and side stepping the clutch on launches, you got no chance of me doing that tho

Granted Martyn has blown up a box but that was on the dyno

Just have a wee practice

Liking the vid, very nice
What revs have you limited too? & how much boost do you build while stationery ?

Great Vid and an awesome noise!!!!

I just realised my T25 has launch control, had a go last night though dont reallly know how to do it properly and am worried about doing some damage! My mate was like "oh just side step the clutch!!"
That from a guy that just blew the gear box doing exactly that on his volvo lol

I'd never have the ***** to sidestep the clutch

Just let the clutch up quicker each time til you're happy with the launch!!
