idk but on my s2000 i loved hitting the 2 step launch control. i had my wastegate dump right through the hood...so when you built up boost and dumped fuel into the exhaust manifold, 3 foot flames would shoot out of the hood and make a crazy exploding noise!

just be careful with the heat generated from 2 step, it will warp exhaust valves pretty quickly.

send a PM to Isaiah48 for some warnings about this device.

Watch the video linked in this thread for how well it can work when properly set up.
