If it doesnt break then do it

Ditch the Link for something better if you want launch control. Add on setups are not the way to go.

well launch control will limit your launch rpm in most all cases...what you are looking for is most likely traction control if launching at 8000
try launching at a lower rpm for starters....then see if you still need it

real traction control is a thing of beuty
the race logic is one of the few aftermarket units
it reads the abs sensors and adjusts advance to limit wheel slip

i know jeff sponagule was trying one out

but in hind site scoobie steve has the right idea ditch the link for something more advanced motec/AEM/pectel/$$$/$$$

Tried the Motec with anti-lag . Before launch at the start line, the sucker was making 18psi of boost ! Can imagine what WRC cars feel like when they have 3 bar at the start line, with traction control !

the launch control system all depends on how it controls it...does it apply brake to the spinning wheel, cut ignition or cut fuel...all 3 are methods of launch control...cutting fuel could lean out the motor and cause it to blow IF it isn't done right...cutting ignition could, if not done right, also cause you to detonate by making an extremely rich mixture...and applying the brakes to a slipping wheel just makes you slow and I don't think the subaru brake system has the hardware to do this method

if the problem is the laggy turbo then just get anti-lag for when you are the track...not to mention it is cooler and doesn't cause ultimately slower 60' times like a TCS can do.
