As already said, its a feature on aftermarket ecu's, best left to the pro's tbh, quickest way to destroy your turbo if you dont know how to use it correctly

launch control is MENTAL! One of the best features from my ecu and great fun, but as a few have said above you need a gearbox/clutch that can hack it otherwise stuff will break !
