if you are planning on launching the car enough to justify needing a launch control you have got some other stuff to buy first.

why do you need launch control? are you even familiar with how the car is to drive in the stock form? what do you plan on doing with the car? if you are going to go out of your way to be launching the car every chance you get i would look into a differential that can stand the abuse before the computer programming for launch control.

generic response for your question easiest way is through a EMS (aem, hondata, etc)

You're definitely going to want to plan on getting a cryo'd reinforced diff.

the only reason i want a launch control is to bounce off rev box safely. thats the only reason.

What was said before. The best way to set one up would be through a ems- kpro, aem, haltech...
Launch control is mainly used to get your turbo spooled up to a proper level where you will be able to hook off the line and go without blowing through your tires.
Are you just doing it for the sound? If so might I also suggest one of these?

Lol^

But i agree with previous posts... you need a diff, and even cryo treated tends to pop if launched poorly. Only solid one i have seen is the inline pro diff kit, plus it gives you the drive line and axles =D its like a tank for your drive train.
