There is no such thing as launching a FWD. It is more like pussying a FWD. A stock 2g turbo can spin the hell out of the tires through 2nd gear not even trying. You are best off comming out of the hole like normal driving reaching ~50% throttle in 1st. In second, get on it ~75% throttle until you are about to shift when you can start to give it hell. Just practice. If you start to spin them, you are being too aggressive. If you aren't spinning them or wheelhoping, give it more gas.

Drag radials, slicks, LSD, motor mounts, and suspension will help you with traction problems. Most FWD owners keep it to the highway. Very few run fast 1/4 times.
