TURBO DOODS! How to launch?

Hey turbo 7th gen guys. I'm hella confused on how to launch with a boosted 7th gen. When you rev up to your launching rpm, do you rev with wide open throttle? Cause doesn't the turbo not spool up unless ur using wide open throttle? Or do you guys just launch lets say just put a lil pressure on the pedal till it gets to 3500? Also...what technique do you guys use to launch? Thanks for the help

Well I dont have turbo but you dont have to be in WOT to spool up the turbo. I guess launch at about 3,000 rpm feather the clutch out then punch on it when u get traction

You have to pulse the gas. Rev it to about 4000 using WOT, then let off til it gets to say 2800 then go WOT again. Keep this up til you launch.
