Anyone use the two step feature?

I was just wondering how effective it was, and if it really spools the turbo effectively.... Thanks

its a rev limit that you preset that allows you to go WOT and hold it till the boost gets to where you want, and then drop the clutch. You notice it when you are at the track. You here them at the line back firing like crazy..

Do you have a rotary engine in it?

Also, can you do flat shift with the Microtech?

flat shift?? if its what im thinking, keeping you foot on the accel the whole time, then yea, just set it the rpm limit. But I used to do it on the stock computer too. Takes getting used to, but im naturally a fast shifter/good driver.

you can flat shift witht he haltechs, but i don't think the microtech has that option.

martin, it doesn't hurt the motor, but it eats turbine wheels.

2 step, flatshift is like a rev limit so you can keep the foot on the accel?

yea, microtech does have it, since they have the soft and hard cut limiters. but, if you are quick enough then you shouldnt need it.

So how do us microtech users use this two step feature. Does the microtech LT12S automatically come with it, or do we have to purchase it. If it comes with it, how do we use it?

Thread cleaned up.

RexRyder, take your Instigating motives elsewhere. If you've got a problem with another member take It to the PM's.
