Will Somebody explain how to connect the Anti-lag
Here are the instructions from the manual:
Cut clutch switch wires (Is there more than one? Where are they located?)
Connect one wire through an additional (arming) switch from the standard clutch switch to terminal “SW3” on the FC-Box {FC2 FC-Box 4 Switches}
-The additional switch is used to turn anti lag on and off (arm the system). Mount this within easy reach of your driving position
Ground the other clutch switch wire
My question is where are the clutch switch wire(S)?
Where is the standard clutch switch?
And is it saying use 2 arming switches or just one?
Also, how is this not going to retard the timing and add fuel during shifts if its doing it whenever the clutch is in? Is there some kind of speed sensor hooked up with the program?
Thanks in advance guys!

No ne in the US really uses the launch control because it causes a lot of wear on the turbos and engine in general. It's not really worth the tradeoff with a rotary. I know some major tuners use a stutterbox in order to launch with 15-17 pounds of boost but they really arent doing it on the street and they don't have to worry about longevity.

Ok, well just for anybody's future reference... I DID figure it out. All you have to do is cut the 2 wires going to the Clutch Switch, its one black one and one other one (forgot the color) with a stripe of a different color on it. Anyways...
On the side opposite the actual connector where the 2 wires are just hanging, you want to loop these 2 together so they will always be touching.
Then... with the wires still attached to the plug, you want to run one of them (either one) to a grounding point.
Then run the other one through a switch and into the SW3 connector on the FCBox.
The FCBox, as I understand, will try to ground itself through this SW3 port activating the anti-lag. This is why you have an "arming" switch in line so it will arm itself (let the current go through) when you turn it to the on position. The clutch will act like the 2nd "arming" switch so that when you armed the first switch all it needs to complete the ground is for you to push the clutch in open the circuit. Hope this helps and I'll go ahead and apologize for my bad terminology.

Well, I haven't been able to use it yet because of a whole nother story. I can't get my laptop to accept the Datalogit signal in order to turn the thing on. Only way I figure this out was through an email conversation I had with some pictures.

well, it turned out that my pfc won't accept the anti-lag. Only a few versions of the PFC will allow it to work. It worked on some others but not mine for some reason, it just caused everything to freeze up and that was my my laptop would not accept the datalogit signal

I really am not too sure, i just bought mine last summer and it doesn't work with it. all i can suggest you do is try it out. It's pretty easy to switch back if it doesn't work now that you have me and a few others to help you out in undoing it.
