I've never seen a chip maker make one peep about all this stuff. Can someone pin one of them down
and squeeze some answers out of them? :P
Something real, something technical.
More than "We've improved throttle response"
... gimme the gory details! :P

I'm not so sure about that. There's a delay, and you can be on part throttle and feel it.
Ever been manuevering around in traffic, and you let the clutch out and give it some gas.. and about 1/2 second later you feel the car jerk forward without moving the pedal?
It's not the usual DBW lag, as it's like DBW lag compounded with "oh, the clutch is back at home position, mooore timing advance coming right up!"

I need to get my vagcom out again. I tried holding the pedal to the floor and turning the key on...
No difference I could tell whatsoever.

Don't bother. Someone did it on b7 forum to prove GP wrong. The "throttle adapt" does nothing.

2 Questions
Does the very heavy engine braking have anything to do with this? It happens so much more in 1st than other gears, I assumed it was engine braking from all the friction in the chains on such a small V8..
And have you pulled fuse #7? I was thinking about that this weekend. I'd like to see how raw it is, as it seems like I have throttle lag with aggressive acceleration in all gears at lower RPM (2-4k), but I know this is before the bulk of the powerband in the upper 5-6k range so maybe it's just relative?

Great research! That's exactly how it feels...
Throttle delays, overresponse, clutch burning smells...DBW SUCKS! Anyone have similar data with REVO or other? That would be very interesting indeed, and convince me to chip despite warranty if improvements are apparent (but from what Sia says, seems limited to low speed and aggressive driving only...)

Give it up. I took issue with that procedure recently. It is a ghost story.
