Ok another question.
If you have it turned off in your tune can you over ride the tune by simply pushing the button and turning it on. BTY I orderd my tune 2 days ago so I dont know to try it for my self yet.

I could be wrong but I think if it is disabled as part of the tune, the dash button is completely deactivated. You would not be able to turn it on by pressing the dash button. Then you would have a sweet place to "hide" your line-lock activation button...traction control of sorts

True... if its turned off in the tune, it is off totally. No way to toggle it back on. That's why I leave it enabled on the street tune, but turned off in the track tune.

I've never pulled the switch out but on my VW GTI I disabled ASR (TCS) by soldering a 22µF resistor across the + and - leads.
When I started the car the switch would be off.
The resistor also adds a 7 second delay.
For example when you first start the car you'd have to wait approx 7 seconds before you could enable it. Once enabled you could turn it off immediatly but would have to wait the 7 seconds before you could enable it again.
I might try this and see if it works.

with me, if im getting on it and i hit a bump my tcs will click in. and totally own me. or if i throw it down into 3rd ont he freeway at 70 the TCS will kick in. so i turn it off only when i want to slide or jump on it.
When I throw it into 3rd at 70 I just go faster and then I upshift at @100.
I don't usually have it on, but I don't understand what you mean.
Where we live, even my 85 year old dad can slide sideways without losing control.
When you live in SNOW country it is a part of driving.
I guess T/C is for you desert country people.

Ok, I might be talking out my rear...
But I could have sworn that when Joe at Dynospeed did my tune- He reversed my TCS. Meaning it was off by default and a push of the button would engage it??????

no, i never said I lose control sliding. im saying they have the tcs kick in when the car begins to slide.

when i rev match 3rd gear with teh tcs on, sometimes my tires will break pavement and the tcs will kick in.
