Slowly release the clutch while quickly applying the accelerator peddle enough to launch the car quickly, but not too much to induce a large amount of wheel spin. Start conservative with the first launch and keep increasing the RPM at which the car is launched at during the subsequent runs. If the car starts spinning the tires too much after the launch, lower the launch RPM and try again.


Lots of practice required to keep from frying the clutch or bogging the motor
It really sounds like you have no experience launching an AWD car... you've described how to launch a FWD/RWD. You're basically implying to launch an AWD Turbo car like a sissy. As I said before, right when the launch is engaged, go WOT 'til shift point or go slow... none of this partial throttle shit. Also, holding revs works but not as well as feathering the throttle before the launch... if you blip the gas pedal and hold it at x rpm, it'll create boost and bring you to 0 vac for a brief moment and then settle back into vacuum while you're holding the revs. Now, try feathering the throttle within a 500rpm window with consistant blips of the throttle... every blip will bring you back to 0 vac... and engage the launch synchronized with when you blip the gas pedal so you launch at 0 vac or in boost instead of in vacuum. Consider it as a manual 2-step.

Oh, and ppl are right about bogging... if you bog, launch higher. If you launch higher, be prepared to fix broken shit. Wheel spin is *much* better than bogging anyday.
