Default Break boost and 2-step?
I have a LPE 2-step hooked up to the clutch. Works well for the launch. Has any one hooked up the 2nd activation to the brake lights for roll race brake boosting?
WOW I just saw I spelled brake wrong. lol

2-steping from a roll did not work well for me last night.

You shouldnt be using the two step from a roll. Hold the brakes, give it gas and let it build boost and let off the brake to go. Ive never even seen someone use a 2 step from a roll to build boost. Listen to mine as the turbo spools just using the brakes.

Should be able to just build the boost off the brakes, no need for 2 step.
