Just to make you aware that there have been rumours that using launch control too many times in a short space of time can over stress/over heat the clutch plates on the gear box. Whether this is entirely true im not sure, im sure i read it on a vw forum.

My edition 30 has launch control and in the 3 years of ownership i have never used it. I bet other dsg users have used it over and over again with no problems, i just havent risked it lol

I've found that launch control can be used just about as regularly as you like. In one day I used it over 20 times in anger at Santa Pod. With a remap for the DSG it just makes it toooooo easy to use - as long as traction control is off and you are in either sport or manual mode, then launch control is permanently active :evil:

If anyone's DSG should give up the ghost due to excessive use of Launch Control it should be mine :huh:, but as yet it is running fine with a LOT of torque and power. :cool:

If you go revo then you want the stage 1 dsg software as the stage 2 one is really meant for highly tuned k04s and larger turbos.
