Gas Pedal Delay

I read the updated post in your thread. You're right about the gradual throttle ramping with the RPMs. It's so unnatural and feels artificially held back. That explains my boost gauge gradually getting out of vaccum and slowly or barely building boost at times. I do feel the roughness of the throttle similar to rough engagement of the clutch and not being able to keep my foot still on the pedal haha.

What's interesting is that when the car is fairly cool I can get boost to build up at half throttle and low speeds since the BOV flutters at light loads. It's pretty fun in the neighborhood. After awhile I can't get boost to build up unless I hold down the throttle and let it rev past 3-4k RPM, which is not good in the neighborhood (easy to exceed the speed limit).

I even showed my friend by punching it in 1st while turning out of the parking lot with VDC off. The car slowly ramps up, but doesn't spin out of control. His Lotus is so much better on the throttle response even after some hard driving.

This year is definitely a bad year. We're breaking records over here. The car gets so hot that when I press down on the pedal the throttle opens up, and then it hits a ceiling and refuses to do anything else.

Also, do you guys feel it's difficult to quickly rev match with this car? I usually bog on the downshifts because I end up not revving it high enough.
