How should I Iaunch 1.8T?? I...
used to drive a GTI VR6 and I am used to the low end torque, but whenever I tried to launch my A4 1.8T, the car just won't go. It seems like it needs a few seconds before I can feel the car pulls. Am I driving wrongly or what??

Launching:
Fan the RPM's to use the weight of the flywheel to build some boost off idle. Just tap the gas, once the tach hits about 4000 (Just guessing for a K03, I drop from about 5200 with my Stage III)Drop the clutch and slam the pedal to the floor!
WARNING: This will kill your clutch eventually, it's the weakpoint in the drivetrain. But it sure is fun.
