I have been doing some searching today trying to see how us automatic awd guys launch, what upgrades you do, how much the upgrades cost, etc. I am not referring to the turbo, injectors, and ecu differences. I have the 14B turbo and soon plan on getting the 450cc injectors and 5speed ECU.
First off, how are you guys launching? I have a nearly stock TSi AWD so how you launch your 700hp AWD wouldn't be relevant. I don't like how my Talon comes off the line. I have tried powerbraking but nothing extreme. Just held the brake pedal in slightly while about 1/4 throttle then releasing the brake. But not enough to build any boost. Is it possible to build max boost while powerbraking?
I know there are several upgrades for the auto trans (ipt high-stall converters, etc.). What have you done and what would you advise me to do? How much did you end up spending on your trans total?
