Launch control/anti lag/ 2 step

Hey guys, ive recently had launch control/ anti lag installed in my car. I dont often race it i basically had it installed so i can make noise with it. The haters can hate but its my car so i dont care. I just want someone with knowlage to comment weather or not i can damage something by using it...

Anti lag is tough on turbos and can cause premature wear on them

I don't have any firsthand experience, but I understand that antilag/launch control is also an easy way to destroy your cat if you run one. My thoughts are that anything past the exhaust ports are going to get hit hard.

This is usually the type of question you ask before you have something installed or enabled. Yes, it can damage things depending on how its set up, or if you just sit on it forever to impress your friends while you're not actually using it for what its actually for.

will cause premature wear to a turbo and potentially melt a cat.
