DSG LAUNCH CONTROL

Probably a long shot on here but...

Has anyone looked into how to activate launch control on the b7 DSG package? I've seen videos on youtube of people doing it but nothing telling me how to actually go about it....would like to look at a 2 step launch control on a custom map in the future. :esm
