Launching?

I dont plan on and wony launch my car, just wondering how different it is launching a AWD as opposed to RWD and how/why is it harder? Sometimes, from a stop, it kinda feels like my car bogs down then catches speed, im not launchin this is everyday city driving im referring to. Almost like theres no guts on first from a stop.

Whats your past history when it comes to previous cars owned, is this your
first turbo car?

Are you putting load on the engine, I.E letting the turbo spool before you launch?

What spark plugs are you using and did you install them correctly?

Need more details if you want a favorable answer.

It sounds like you are trying to "gently" launch it by not bringing the RPMs high enough to activate the 2-step. Not really gunna happen. If you want to go fast just hit the RPM designated. by your 'stationary rev limiter' (usually approx. 5000 or so) and you shouldnt bog down. But if you really dont wanna hit the 2-step youre gunna want to aim for as close to this as possible before launching. otherwise just accelerate normally.
