maybe motor mounts, better tires, lower launch rpms, and a quaife might help?

haha Kory said a good amount of them all ready haha you can do an AWD conversion that'll help :P
Here's another answer VERY CAREFULLY! Go easy on the throttle. Happens a lot to me and I'm only running 4 psi of boost.
You can get a dual stage boost controller also, so it'll start off at one preset psi then switch to a higher one when your off.

1st gear is a bitch to get control. But on a dry day with some decent tires second gear should not spin too much. I can usually grab second gear pretty good with no spin at all. In first gear though my tires always break loose when it hits boost.

Clutch and throttle modulation or better tires. With full boost in the 2000-2600rpm its probably pretty hard. I could launch mine at 3000rpm and boost would pick up right on time, not much tire spin. My problem wasn't until 5000rpm when boost would break the tires loose, at which point I'd just shift to 2nd.

wow full boost at 2000 really? I hit it at like 4k, no wonder you guyz have problems taking off hehe.

adjustable shocks help too (better weight transfer by setting them for dragging)

i gotz good tires...stage 4 clutch and umm...im still trying to start like it NA. I have to get use to all that extra power. i took one of my integra loving friends for a ride and asked if his car could do this with 3 passengers!!! I started from 5mph (floored it) full boost i started spinning, shifted at redline (spun all of 2nd -- hard shift) then another hard shift and spun a little in third. what rpms do you turbos launch at???

It is the time of year when the roads are slicker to start with. Check your tire pressures to see if they might be too high as well. End of the day though traction is not a turbo fwd's best friend :)
Oh, launch around 3500.

Since I put 225's in the front I haven't had any problems getting grip dropping it at 4k.....damn i can't even chirp into 2nd any more :(

Whats up? My car drives fine. Its just like a normal asp car. When you want the boost its there. Its just a good feeling. The only touchy deal with the car is that it only likes to cruise on the highway around 70mph. Anymore or any less the car starts to sound like its around 7k rpm. So i just use cruise control. later mike
