Hi

My launch control is not working when setting it to 3800rpm.

Could you please help me with this launch control its going to 5200rpm by itself even when i set it to 3800rpm.
I have returned it to stock and reloaded the map to test and it still on 5200 rpm :(

Also have attached my MAP can you check it for me. I have 2nd Cat delete. CAI and TIP 76mm.

Hello Dan,

Another RSA member, cool, Relook at you settings, MAX SPEED FOR LAUNCH, LAUNCH CONTROL LIMIT, MIN ACC PEDAL POS., when you launch make sure you at a stop, and the you got your accelerate in such that you are at 98% or higher with acc pedal pos. Basically floor it !!,

Good Luck bud, if you looking for local help, speak to Jo, Kev, or Saint..........

Hi Ricardo

I got Steve in RSA to check and my settings and they are correct but its not applying it.
Tried 3 times setting it to 3800 and foot flat it limits on 5200. :(

Also need to get a proper tune for my car :( only done MAF calibrations

When you're testing your launch control make sure the following conditions are met:
1. clutch down to the floor;
2. vehicle speed is BELOW then one you set when you flashed the tune (or set in the custom profile);
3. make sure you step on the acceleration pedal very fast, because if the APP is below the 98% threshold if will miss the LC point and will rev up to the red line. So just jump on it instantly. I have the LC rpm limit set to 2800rpm and I need to be very quick when I step on the acceleration, so I know :)

man, it can't be. You either did not enable it when you flashed your map (it's not part of the map, this options are different) or you don't do something right.

Haha,

I feel so hurt, when I told you to "floor it", what did you think i meant................... the one thing I knew,................

Hope its working, and enjoy the Launch control, just dont waste the tires for nothing, only use it when you taking down those GTI DSG's............ lol, :drive
