Torque Management

So gonna be fully bolted and tuned here by the summer and was thinking about limiting torque in the first couple gears to help with traction but haven't really heard to much about it on here.

I was thinking something like 65-70% in 1st and 80-85% in 2nd. Anyone with experience what are you running and does it help any?

Thatll work but you need to get your Tq rated figures by figureing your actual output of boost and ect with dal,mal, and wgdc. So once those are figured you should be good.

I just don't press the pedal all the way down or start off with my tune off then kick it on in third If im feeling fancy. Would be sweet to limit it, but sometimes I love to hear the tires blow off : )

Yeah most people just limit boost. Especially in first gear.

i would obviously want to have torque managed in 1st gear, but would want 100% after that and just learn how to drive it. pending it doesnt burn up the clutch...lol
