here is a little vid i made of my tbrake and 2 step in the driveway. ignore the low oil light In the last segment, you can see the boost coming up but it skyrockets once it hits the 2 step rpm

The explosion of the gases in the exhaust spools the turbo.

I just want to confirm that the 2 step works with an M6 as well as it does with an auto.

2 step will work with an M6, also do a search for Mega-Squirt, it is a DIY open source tuning module. I believe someone has wrote the code for a 2-step.

The reason you build boost on the 2 step is because the throttle body is wide open and the air can enter the motor. When your trying to build boost on the foot brake the brakes won't hold the car and you can't get to wot.
