"Brake-Boosting"........ Must be a regional term? We always called that technique "Power-Braking".Not enough coffee before posting again lol.
Brake-boosting is a classic roll-racing technique to build boost before the start line.
The amount of load a motor is under is just as impactful to spool time as rpm is. Riding the brake to "artificially" put the motor under more load could potentially provide you with a bigger jump in boost than a downshift would.. provided a consistent mph is the goal.. Definitely more useful in a racing situation and not "real life".. like I said.. not enough coffee lol.
Have yet to try that in my 2019... I'm thinking once the turbo spooled up, if the traction control was off, and the rear locker was on... that might be really fun..... or really expensive.
