Waste of 35 bucks

nice times btw, how do you warm your tires with the dsg trans???

hope you break into 11's soon

They worked amazing compared to my BFGs. Broke my personal best 9 times in like 16 runs the first and only time i have ran them. I had to get my mech unit replaced soon after that trip to the track and have been hesitant to go back. I am going to wait until I get some temps in the low 80s before I take her back. Basically I am not going to be going to test n tunes anymore unless the conditions are right. Too much stress on the tranny.

You pull into the water box with EPC turned off, pull the parking break and roast the tires in manual mode in 1st(obviously) until they give off some smoke, then let off and release parking break. It was very intimidating at first but I got used to it quickly. Hope i can get back out there sometime soon. It has been 95+ degrees or raining the last couple months on thursday test n tune nights

Basically what TSIug said, also try to release the e brake slowly so you can inch off the water box and let the tires catch some dry track do dry them off a bit. once you feel like you hit dry track, you'll feel it when you do, just release completely.

My freaking dsg wont let me do that, maybe cause is an 06 wo launch control, if i step the gas and pass 1200rpm the gas automatically shuts off
