Launch Control mode (for manual gearbox) is an optional feature that eliminates turbo lag to aid in vehicle acceleration from a complete stand still. Simply hold the clutch and accelerator while the vehicle is stationary and the engine’s RPM will hold at a predefined limit while boost pressure builds, when you're ready just release the clutch for a violent acceleration off the line ! This feature is for manual transmissions only.

"Pops & Bangs" also called "Crackle Map", "Burble on overrun" or "Schubblubbern" is the sound of fuel detonating in your exhaust when releasing the throttle. We developed this feature to keep the turbocharger's rpm up and thus greatly reduce reaction time when you go back on the throttle after a deceleration. Basically it's an anti-lag feature for the turbo but of course you can also use it to impress your friends and to give your car a racecar sound!

Hard Rev Cut allows the engine to reach max RPM without the ECU slowing down acceleration just before hitting the rev limiter. The result is more power to redline and a definable redline feeling!

This function will make sure your car won't automaticaly cut the engine when comming to a stop. A must have for the racers out there!

Exhaust Flap Control allows you to control or change the opening and closing of the exhaust valves for more or less sound. When the valves are closed, the exhaust is in quiet mode. When fully opened, the exhaust system is in maximum flow mode and therefore the sound of your exhaust is louder.

The catalytic proces in the catalyst only works if the catalyst is hot, so in order to keep emissions low, it's critical that the catalyst is heated quickly after the engine start.

It's the coldstart function that has to heat up the catalyst as fast as possible to it's optimal operating temperature. This is achieved by increasing idle RPM and changing the ignition timing.
The increased idle rpm of the cold start and the increased exhaust sound that goes with it might be annoying if your car is catless.
