Instead you want to gradually ease off the gas while gently steering into it until it corrects itself. Any sudden or abrupt actions will send these cars spinning. I know you're responsible and taking it easy right now, but when the time comes, just keep a calm head and play it cool. When the roads are wet, it can happen at any second with no warning.
No wheelspin on my car when doing this...just trying to keep the boost in check. I've had my run at the skid pad
All you hear on the vid is engine noise coupled with boost, wastegate, and BOV... exhaust note is negligible! RD exhaust went really quite after the install of the turbo, and of course it still has the cat converter.

A long time ago I had a nice wet spin on a highway (2001 M Roadster)...it was crazy! Thankfully I was on my own on the road and didn't hit anything. I have had much more spirited driving experience since then, and some "training" as well...
Do appreciate the concern brother!
