Now I believe the GT-500 has a Boost friendly TC that cuts spark which is ok for a FI motor.

yes it does.....

now I wish someone could rig this up for a GT with launch control. That would be sick.

There has been times when I have forgotten to turn off the TC system and given it a little romp on the pedal...and I get a mean backfire and loss of acceleration immediately! Sucks!!!

Supercharged and proud - but that stupid TC button kicks my *** every now and then!

no, I'm talking to anyone who thinks that t/c is an absolute must-have, and believe it or not, a lot people are scared to drive without it.

why bother? it takes less than a second to hit the button, and if you do it every time, you don't even think about it after a couple weeks.

relay is not that expensive and 30 minutes to isntall, i did mine a few weeks ago and its great. never have to even think about the tcs now days.

check these out on ebay, comes with the relay and instructions, $20 wont kill anyone.
