Default turbo launching

just wondering what is the best way to launch a turbo car, do you rev up befor the light turns green to get it spining or will that make to much power and just spin the wheels off the line , or should i just wait till it turns green and stomp it and let the turbo do its job done the track

Generaly, you will want to rev up as soon as you get staged, how high to rev depends on the set up... On stock tires or drag radials you will rev lower than with slicks, but no one can realy tell you exactly what to rev to, you gota go out to the track and practice till you find the sweet spot where you dont spin too much, and where you dont bog down... To give you an idea to start with is, on street tires or drag radials try starting around 4K and adjust accordingly, on slicks start around 6K and adjust accordingly...
