Do you mean launch control with the intention of building boost on the standstill or antilag for maintaining boost between the gearshifts?
With ball-bearing turbochargers both are not recommended as this ruins ball-bearing turbos way faster than normal driving and regular journal turbos are not that sensitive though it shortens their lifetime also.

I've used launch on few drag cars, boost builds up  nicely.

Thanks for reply.....its to maintain boost ,...have had many rally cars with als ..and yes i know it shortens turbo life considerably, but gives almost instant throttle response esp.after a lift on throttle .....drift runs are quite short so its no issue......someone must be using it with VEMS ???
cheers parxy

There are people using it, trouble is they're not always around over weekends so it might take a day or two in order to get an answer.
