Technically, all you're going to spin is 1 tire . Anyway, it's certainly a good idea, but so is dumping that VAFC

I concur. When you have a turbo, you need all the traction you can get!

if you ditch the afc and tune it with a nice EMS you will see better gains from what you have and be safer in the long run

Personally i believe in doing it right or not doing it at all. But if I was you id say ditch the afc rather than getting lsd. Run some type of ems. LSD you can always do in the future and it will not affect maps or anything. Just dont run from a stop

Wheel spin will be the least of your problem's if you're managing a turbo motor with a VAFC.

wake up and smell the coffee. Turbo tuning is based mostly on tuning the timing, which a vafc cannot do. racing around on a vafc, your motor will EVENTUALLY blow up. Just a matter of time.

Ditch the VAFC and switch to Hondata.
