Default Can ANYONE brake-boost successfully ??

Why does our damn ECU disable the use of brake/gas pedals together at once ? It just cuts off the fuel to the engine! A friend with a turbo IS300 always lunges ahead of me from a roll because the kid has maximum boost when he lets off the brake, and I'm starting from zero.

Can't heel & toe either !?!?

This bothers me. Has anyone been able to do it, perhaps by modifying ECU or piggybacking or whatever ?

Try your emergency brake instead.

Should be an easy fix...

The break pedal has four wires on it (two switches I believe), I would imagine if you put a relay or two on these switches you will be able to bypass it.

This isn't something I wanna do myself... if I had to have a shop do it, what should my instructions be ?
