I think there was an ad on for the Omex 600 ecu to Allow you to do that but spending over 500 on a ecu plus however much for the launch control is a bit excessive.

Limit your throttle cable to about 4k, hold your foot on the floor at lights and dump the clutch. Simple!

You probably could yes... It's just whether 1AP accepts different timing or limits based on VSS...

However, for what it'd cost to have done and someone figure out, not worth it. You might as well go standalone from day one.

Other way you could do it is with a No-Lift Shift kit, it'd probably take in to account the clutch pedal position and then cut the ground to the coils when the revs go over a defined limit... It's just whether you'd end up wrecking the Coil Drivers doing that...

Oh no, I wasn't saying there was any point.

There isn't any!

The only time you might want to is for chronic flames, but the GTi6 exhaust manifold is fairly thin steel and will probably crack if you do.
