What is brake boosting?

Brake boosting is a technique used by some drivers to increase the amount of power delivered to the wheels when accelerating. This technique involves pressing down on the brake pedal while simultaneously applying pressure to the gas pedal. By doing this, the engine is prevented from building up boost pressure and can result in increased power output when the brakes are released.

However, brake boosting is considered to be a risky driving technique as it can potentially cause excessive wear and tear on the brakes, transmission, and engine components. It can also lead to reduced control and stability of the vehicle, as well as increased risk of accidents.

Additionally, brake boosting is illegal in many jurisdictions and can result in fines or other penalties if caught by law enforcement officers. It is generally not recommended for regular driving and should only be used with caution by experienced drivers in controlled environments.
