traction control question
- Thread starter super_stylin
- Start date
on 1/4 mile runs it saved me approx 1 sec by turning it off....however I always drive on the road with it on, as braking without it can get a bit hairy!! Although I do turn it off if I want to have a lil bit of fun with another car 
I have mine on when its wet or cold but as soon as its summer its off all the time. Havin it off will give you better pull away
When the TC light is off the TC is on... and vice versa.
And do our cars come with ESP or was that just an option?

i'm with you on that, the T/C definately slows the car down but not just because its electrical as it stops the car from wheel spinning etc....in mine you can feel it sapping the power away to keep control
TC senses wheelspin and firstly applys braking pressure on the spinning wheel (in first gear and second), if this doesn't work it then cuts boost, and finally it will cut spark after a few seconds to try and regain control, I've noticed that the TC doesn't apply brakes in 3rd 4th or 5th gear though... just cuts boost and spark
my TCS has been working for about 6 months now, but i'll glad when it gets sorted as its a right pain in the wet winter.
but to answer the question you wont get more power, but in the dry the acceleration will be better. as long as u dont get it lit
