If a early car doesnt have launch control, can R-tech still map it in?

my guess is that it isn't. need to be done inside the ECU if i'm correct and tuners can activate it. Correct me if i'm wrong

You all may haven't a worry...here in the states, some weren't active. I expect those that haven't tried it do have active LC.

Tried this in a MK7 R DSG I test drove. IMMENSE  :drool:

For anyone worried about "wearing out the gearbox", @Hurdy has done over 2000 launches with his Golf R - lots of those with roughly twice the power it came out of the factory with - his gearbox hasn't broken (although the torque is killing his clutch packs in 5th gear)  :laugh:

Would be genuinely interested to see how exactly it wears the gearbox, Im sure its fine to do it every now and again, but at the end of the day you're still exerting a larage ammount of power all of a sudden through the gearbox, so I'd be surprised if it didn't cause a higher wear than just setting off.

Suppose it comes down to maintenece as much as anything also.

Doesn't have to be in sport also works in manual, so for a decent 1/4 time I use manual ;)
