Default what do you 1.8t guys launch at?

Im curious as to what some of you guys launch at? Im reading online that some people launch/dump the clutch at 5~6k rpm..is this even possible on a pretty stock car? Im not really gonna try this mostly because im a bit scared of breaking my internals lol.

What setup does your car have? Clutch, turbo? You'd break quite a few things before internals on a launch lol.

Well yeah I never plan on launching at 5k rpm thats ridiculous, but I have a k03s, and a new OEM clutch. Cars chipped too.
