Not on an S4... unless you REALLY can't drive.

Default ??? whats it have to do with driving?

im talking about 1/4 mile use. i know rally cars use something similar to this. the 2 step im talking about allows you to build boost in neutral. i know the sick twin t3 s4 avant in sweden uses it.

Default you should be able to stay in the boost when shifting...

rally cars don't care if the turbo blows up after each stage if it means they keep max boost coming out of a 15mph hairpin in the dirt.

S4 turbo's are small enough to still make max boost on an upshift, so you shouldn't need it for 1/4 mile.

In addition, I don't think anyone is having launch issues (too much wheel spin) where you'd want to run less boost off the line.

Default no, we all avoid any technical discussions without bring your math into it...

...OHLINS say they show measurable grip increase on the shaker rig.

Default You've got two tiny turbos... why can't you use your right foot to build boost on the line?

It's rediculous to put a two-step on these cars unless you have excessively huge turbos... even then you're better off using nitrous to spool them.

I run a two step on my mustang (transbrake car)... it works on that application.
