How to completely disable the VDC

^ Correct. Unplugging the yaw sensor kills VDC+TCS+ABLS (and you get a permanent VDC OFF / Slip light on the dash, as it thinks the system has failed, which it has).

Supposedly it leaves basic ABS working fine (since it doesn't light up any brake/ABS lights on the dash), but it's hard for me to independently confirm that - something about my brake hardware/pad setup (or my mis-wired brain that refuses to let me try to flatspot tires?) makes it very hard for me to trigger and/or feel ABS on my car in the first place.

Not mine. VDC off turns on the VDC light. I can do a burn out, drift, etc in a parking lot or around a corner. No idea about high speed corner exit type things though.

Yaw off is the exact same. It turns on the TCS light only. I can drift, burn out etc.

To me so far both do the same thing and both off the same time feels no different.

So let me get this straight. You can do a standing burnout with your foot on the brake. Something makes me think you cant.

Where the hell did you get that from? Point out to me where those words were written by me.
