They just say that because they think it'll get them out of trouble if someone recognizes them.

where you hold the E brake and not get fully off the gas, it's suppose to keep you in boost that way when you let go, you wont have to wait a couple of secs for your turbo to spool as long as you would just getting on it. To me it's just a helluva wear and tear on your brakes and would be more benificial to feather your clutch (not recommended on stock clutch)

it doesnt have to be the ebrake

brake but not too much as to let the car slow down and gas but not too much as to let the car accelerate at the same time. this lets you be in full boost on that 3rd honk

Brake boosting
Cutting down a little lag and saving rotors/clutch/synchros by rev matching

well either way.. it's wear and tear on the rotors. i'd rather feather the clutch, it works better.

Brake boosting works very well especially if you have a big turbo. It gets you a nice jump.

But I agree it kills your brakes
