Best way I've always launched my car is put the shifter in Manual mode to ensure the Torque converter isn't "unlocked". GM has a variable torque converter that unlocks itself when you stop to save on fuel at idle. Then make sure your traction control and stability control is disabled. Just press...

1.4 turbo here, cold air intake with auto trans. getting around 34-36mpg at 70mph, 38-40mpg at 60mph. only conclusion to the better fuel mileage at lower highway speeds is lower boost pressure. around 2.5psi of boost at 60mph, 6 psi of boost at 70-73mph

The downstream o2 sensor isn't reading right. It's reading as if the catalytic converter is bad or the sensor is bad. Change the second o2 sensor and if it's still reading the same, you're gonna need a new catalytic converter

Best thing to reduce wheel hop in them now is to get the ZZP Solid upper engine mount and their tubular front control arms. Makes a hell of a difference
