The basic problem with the stock throttle map is that it refuses to fully open the throttle when you nail the pedal at low RPM. It gradually lets the real throttling open up as the revs rise. This is a form of pedal delay that tuners try to fix, etc. Your problem does sound different...

How long is the delay before the car reacts? Is it from a standing start in first, or rolling in some gear? What RPMs and pedal position did you start at? Getting data on that particular issue is the key to understanding it. I wonder also if there's any commonality in setup between people that have a large, complete delay? Perhaps large intakes (G3) without going through the procedure to re-learn the intake tract's Idle Volume after install, or something like that?
