Default Boost Braking

Do any of you guys "boost brake", i was wondering if its possible with the c6. My cars ECU wont let me do it . If any of you want to know what boost braking is, it is when you apply the brakes and gas at the same time to build boost while driving, then let go of the brakes and....WOoooOooooooo....bye*

i've done it before with other turbo cars, I call it brake boosting though. if you have a turbo with a laggy hotside and want to take off quick from a roll it works well. Just be careful cause its hard on your clutch or torque converter.

Unless your going to be running a really laggy turbo (BIG) you won't have to worry about it...
