We have a vehicle here now in house we were able to use to reproduce some throttle delays. On all other TSI vehicles we were unable to reproduce the issues but after speaking with a few customers we were able to nail down a few scenarios. THIS VEHICLE IS 100% STOCK. The engineering team spent the past week working on the vehicle to understand why the delay was present in the first place. There's a reason VW put it there. There is a reason why they wanted it. I can't go too deeply into the reason why as it may cause other tuners to know where to look to help create a solution. Thus far, the engineering team was able to calibrate a the ECU in such a way the delay is not present. The vehicle is now in long term testing to check drivability. Once we ensure this is a safe change that will not impact multiple other driving conditions unforeseen, we will roll it into another software release. No pun intended, but the 'new' version of APR software was delayed till we could actually confirm this is something present with stock software so we could roll all the released into one. Just a note why we don't release multiple update's and instead roll them into one package is because the TSI has over 20 ECU's. Some of those 20 ECU's have multiple VW factory revisions. Of each factory revision we have APR stage 1, 2 and 3 software. For each APR 1, 2 and 3 software we have stock, 91, 93, 100 and valet tunes. 91, 93 and 100 would need to be updated for each. As you can see, 1 release means a lot of work to release a fix for several hundreds of files. When everything is ready, an update will be issued. Become an fan of our software on facebook and I'll launch an update for everyone. Click the like button above the page title on this page.
Again, just to clarify, This was not an APR issue. This is a 'FEATURE' built into the stock calibration.
