Thanks for the quick response. Do you know if I will do real harm if I try that technique. I recently went from a 2006 C2S to a 2008 Turbo Cab tip. Loved the C2S,but this is in a whole different league!

 

Not really a launch control but you can brake boost a little bit with the Tip. That will help your launch.

I do that in my truck. I can actually get 6-7lbs of boost LOL.

 

I had been receiving many emails on this and replied to several. It is correct in that the GT2 cars have it while the 997.1 TT do not. The brake or launch control is actuated in conjunction with the ABS/PSM unit. This unit is different from the 997TT and thus allowing the VG turbos to spool up for launch control.

These parameters apply also to the 996TT mafless and 997TT launch in theory. CAn you have a 996TT AWD Mafless? Yes Can you have a 997TT non GT2 with launch control? Yes.

Best Regards,

"Can you have a 997TT non GT2 with launch control? Yes."

How, how how? Can you PM me or post the response. You might have just made tax season fun :-)

Cheers.

 

Hi Scott - Please PM me too.... I'm Already a customer
Is there an upgrade?

~Mike

 

Could I also get a PM with $$, Ease of install and how to use it once installed. I am a very happy customer with my Softronic flash on my 997.1 TT.

 

sub'd for rocket launches! please share the soft tronic details with the group!

 

Scott - any further news on this?
I think there are quite a few interested folks - if you can provide a solution

 

please also PM me scott

 

also as shown on the 996TT launch control only holds 0.2 Bar of Boost what does the Gt2 launch at ?

 

Scott please don't pull a Perone78 on us I am really curious if launch control can be programmed for 997.1 manuals.

 

Bwaaahahaha!!!
Don't think I can take seeing another muscle flexing animated gif!

 

Matty, I think you are referring to a 1st gear rev limiter. Both Softronic and other developers have created a 1st gear RPM limiter to assist in launch:


The 996TT launch at 0.2bar boost is a two step launch, with a 1st gear preset rev limiter. This really isn't really "launch control," rather, it is a rev limiter.

Scott may have something else up his sleeve. He definitely has the programming skills and know how to create something like this and I know many 997TT owners would like an easy way to launch off the line.

The 997 GT2 launches with 0.9bar/13 PSI at around 5000RPM.

 

Droooool!!!!
If Softronic can come up with a 1st gear "limiter" (launch control type function) that holds boost at 0.9 (or close to that) ... well boys and girls, I think that will be the block buster product of the century
I know - I'll be jumping at it!!!

 

How is that different from dropping the cluch at 5k rpm ... Still abuses first gear
