997 GT2 Launch Control for 996tt - possible?

I saw a video on the 997 gt2 where the driver uses "Launch Control" to get off the line as quickly as possible. Reading about this in the gt2 specs:

Launch Control
Another major innovation is the use of launch control for the first time ever in a road-going Porsche. As the name suggests, the system is designed to maximize acceleration from standing start. To activate the function, simply depress the clutch and accelerator pedals. When the boost pressure rises to approximately 13 psi, release the clutch as quickly as possible and maximum acceleration automatically ensues. Normally on a turbocharged vehicle with manual gearbox the boost pressure under acceleration from a standing start is relatively low. The turbo effect is delayed as the engine gathers speed and the boost pressure starts to build. On the new 911 GT2, this initial delay is reduced. While the car is still stationary, the fuel injection is modified to help the engine reach maximum output earlier. The boost pressure is significantly increased and the engine readied for a faster start.

Traction is maintained under acceleration with the aid of an all-new anti-slip regulation function. Wheel-spin is controlled via the engine management system thereby avoiding unnecessary clutch wear.

It sounds like this is a combination of the ECU and the new "anti-slip regulation function" Any idea how they're doing this, and can it be applied via mods to a 996tt? Even without the anti-slip - is there a way to ensure added boost while revving at 0 mph?
