I used to use a product called a WOT box. It had the launch control and flat shift features built in and was very simple to fit and adjust. Cost me about 120 from the states. Wicked on turbo motors as you can build boost before dumping the clutch.
Not sure that there is a need for launch on a nasp car but the flat shifting is a great feature.

It's supercharged and I disagree with you, launch control on RS4 is a great way of saving the clutch

Sorry I should have been clearer. I meant on a non supercharged non uprated clutch'd RS4. Just opinion of course. Launch is a cool function, I just think that in a nasp you can usually get a good enough launch (no bogging down) without it. Horses for courses, no offence meant :thumb:

So LC I get....

But does flat shift change how your drive the car completely? is it something that you turn on and off?

The interweb just says it used for drag racing and it’s a killer on the longevity of the car etc. but cant say that the video doesn’t make me want something I don’t even understand completely ha

:biggrin3:
Flat shift will be tied to pedal position, so effectively only 'on' when you've got it buried in the carpet. Almost everything you can do to a car will compromise longevity (hence why the manifacturers didn't do it in the first place), especially when it's something that increases power.
