I bought my 90 TSi AWD a couple of years ago. It came with this. Its Al Blaha's old car. ![[Linked Image]](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/8/web/704000-704999/704682_56_full.jpg) Whats the purpose for this aside from an alternate parking brake?

It is used for drag racing to keep the car in one place while you let the clutch out a little to build some boost before launch. I've been thinking about doing this to my car for a while now.

get a stutterbox and it will allow you to build boost but not wear out your clutch.
