how to completely turn off DSC on 14 MCS

Hi guys,

Q on title came out when i was driving on track.
when passing corner, computer sensed types were slipping and DSC interupted and cut the power.sth like turbo lag.
on my MCS, when pushing DSC button, instrument cluster shows "DSC OFF". however, it turn out not to be 100% off. DSC still cut the power in same circumstance.
comparing to R56 JCW, when pushing DSC once, cluster shows"traction", when pushing down for about 5s, cluster then shows"DSC OFF" which is really 100% off. DSC no longer cut the power supply.
i guess there is way in NCS coding to 100% turn off the DSC function.

anybody has the idea?

The jcw you are talking about has the limited slip in it that's how you activate it

The R56 does not turn off DSC completely and MINI could provide no method to completely disable it for autocrossing.

There are several threads here including this one:

I left DSC on for a high speed autocross run and it hampered acceleration out of corners so badly that I never needed to brake going into corners.
