I'll be in Perth shortly...I can show you the 2-step .

basically stand on the gas until it starts bouncing off the limiter- then let the clutch out.

turn trac off (yes, hold for 5 sec-its says off). Clutch in-1st ger-floor gas-it will hit a rev limiter at 5500 rpm and begin to build boost for about 15 sec-during that time-lightly let out until you feel the clutch BARLEY engage-then let'r fly. Oh, and say goodbye to the stock clutch pack in 5 or so of those

When I've tried it, the car seems to lag before it goes. Then it takes off like a rocket. I think I'm doing it wrong. I rev it to about 5k then let the clutch go reasonably quick, and the car seems to think about it before it goes. I've tried this both with traction control off/on.

I'm noooooob.

Sounds like you've already hurt your stock clutch pretty bad. It turns to butter if you launch it wrong even once.
