when I was visiting the performance shop one of the sales guys told me that in the morning before i drive to work i should do the following.....
1. go out to the car and turn the key in the ignition, but dont start the car.
2. let it sit for about 15 minutes (drink my coffee, etc.)
3. go back out to the car and start it.
4. a magical increase in hp will be noticeable....

huh?.....im not sure what he was talking about. he did mention something about the turbo getting reset by the ecu or something to that effect. do any of you know what all of this means and if it is actually true.

Actally it takes like 2 minutes... it's called throttle body adaptation - you can call it magic ;-P

That damn Dan

align the throttle valve's "actual" position with the gas pedal's "indicated" position. Its a drive by wire thing. It can be initiated via VAG-COM or by doing just what he told you. It doesnt take 15mins, but that doesnt hurt and that WOULD give you time for the coffee.

i feel more edumacated....my TT is getting a throttle body adjustment right now. we will see if she is a little peppier afterwards.

im done..waited 10 minutes or so for the TB to stop humming, but it never did. it just kept going, and going, and going...

is it supposed to turn off when it is done adjusting?

The turbo coolant pump....Runs for 10 minutes anytime the key is switched on/off...

an ECU reset might. To do this you need to power down the ECU....Either disconnect the battery for a few minutes, or pull the ECU plugs..
