Can someone explain to me how you build up the turbo so you can get a better launch? Like explain the process how to do it.

My other question is about putting it in 4x4 hi (or low?) to help get that boosted launch and when to put it back in 2wd? Explain that to me please.

I hear/see people doing it and I'm curious how to do it.

Hold the brakes and step on the throttle. Build boost to desired level and let go of the brakes. Very hard on a stock transmission especially if you build too much boost.

You need tie rod sleeves at a minimum to launch in 4x4. Basically you run the full 1/4 mile in 4x4 because it won't come out of 4x4 until you let off anyways.

the stock tie rods will snap like twigs. They keep the tie rods straight for the most part.
