Limiting power in 1st and 2nd

[2000MNLESS]

Pfft, from a man who bought an AWD car.

Torque steer FTMFW

Buying an AWD car has nothing to do with it. I don't have an issue with torquesteer, never did...

But full boost out of 1st and 2nd is just an absolute waste! Not to mention detremental to your driveline components. The gears are too short to make use of the power..

Are you sure we are not confused by just turning off the DSC by pushing the button or by "turn the car off, hold the dsc button, start car while holding the button, keep holding it for few more seconds, then release. Dsc and traction control lights should be on". There is a difference.

I agree that the car is undriveable - not at all nice to drive - but it gives a good indication of how much limit there is in the low gears.

Pressing the button off alows the wheels to slip, but DSC is still running in the back ground.

Holding the DSC in while starting will completely disable the traction control (apparently)

Removing the SWAS plug will disable DSC/traction control, stability control and remove the torque limits from the gears.

Cheers.

Easy mod to get rid of this, new ecu or a chipped ecu Col (YOU LOSE) has his ecu chipped and he has no limitations in 1st & 2nd . .

And sorry to be a party pooper.. but we are limited in 3rd as well.. (just not to the extent of 1st and second)

A while ago I may have disputed this, but with the arrival of my second Gen 2 MPS, I have noticed that 3rd gear doesnt quite pull as hard as 4th.

I was somewhat surprised lol.
