Bit of fun. Upgraded my existing ECUTEK.
Had it set to activate in S# only.
Blips the throttle when shifting down through gears. Only works if you brake first then de-clutch.
Even makes a series of tight round-abouts more enjoyable.
Flat shift and launch control also activated but will leave launch control until a hill climb event or similar.

What rpm does launch control go to?
What else have you done to you car lately Michael? Haven't had an update it ages!

Have you enabled dual map control?

Launch control holds RPM at 4500 until wheels reach 8 km/h when it allows it to rev to 7000 over the period of 1 second.
Haven't done much to the car for ages. Did most of it within its first year. It will turn five next month and 33 000km.
Short list for anyone interested;
STi wheels (5)
Brembos
STi pinks
Cusco F&R LABs and sways.
GFB short shift
Dump pipe
ECUTEK
Hyperflow TMIC

I've always had different maps for 'I', 'S' and 'S#' with the standard ECUTEK. But are you referring to something else again?
I know you can have different boost for different gears (ie lower in first to avoid wheel spin) and different rev limits (say higher in second for a better 0 -100 time).
Interestingly, Sean set the throttle blip on down shift to 0.35 sec rather than the standard 0.3 sec for better shifting. You'd wonder if 0.05 sec would make a difference but it must. Similarly he sets the rev limit on launch control to 4500 rpm +/- 200 rpm rather than the standard tight 20 rpm as it's kinder to the engine.
As I said it's a bit of fun and somewhat hard to justify the $295- cost but I love all this stuff and is cheaper than a new car.

Sorry I stand corrected, it is EcuTek.
