bit like a sport button on some cars, it basically ups the boost from everyday drivin to track day drivin, so that u dont always have it sucking away ur fuel, so say on the way to work u wont want to be raggin it about, where as at some traffic lights n a guy with a rover 400 thinks hes funny in the fast lane.
