throttle lag..?? (not turbo lag)
 

hey guys i have a 1.8t quattro tiptronic and it seems like there is a second or so of "throttle lag." its weird whenever i want to floor it, i'd push down the throttle and my car waits about a second before it changes the gear. anybody have the same experience? would getting it tip-chipped by GIAC get rid of this problem?

thanks

it's not the throttle, it's the tranny. the giac tip chip will help greatly but you can't really get rid of it unless you get a manual.

drive by wire

RE: throttle lag..?? (not turbo lag)
 

Drive-by-wire, DbW, by-wire, or x-by-wire technology in the automotive industry replaces the traditional mechanical and hydraulic control systems with electronic control systems using electromechanical actuators and human-machine interfaces such as pedal and steering feel emulators. Hence, the traditional components such as the steering column, intermediate shafts, pumps, hoses, fluids, belts, coolers and brake boosters and master cylinders are eliminated from the vehicle.
Examples include electronic throttle control and brake-by-wire.

is there any way to get rid of that electronic throttle control??
