Bandaid parts like the SprintBooster attempt to address the first issue only by giving you a lead foot. In the process it destroys linearity so trying to feather the throttle through a corner becomes more difficult.

yes, everything you said is correct. my first instinct was "this is simple tom-foolery, it is just changing the voltage per percent of pedal travel". So in theory the same effect can be had by simply pressing the gas pedal farther and faster. This may be simplifying it a bit, but it is in a sense what is occurring. I'd still rather have a reliable tune than a questionable (reliability-wise) trick.

This is the problem I have. I can literally floor it in 2nd, and it feels like accelerating in 6th. There's no wheelspin, and or back against the seat feeling. The engine doesn't scream either. When making a left turn and giving it roughly 30-40% steady throttle in 1st, the car hesitated around 2k in the middle of the turn instead of linearly accelerating regardless of VDC mode. What's more confusing is that this problem comes and goes.

Last night when I merged I did the same for 3rd and 4th. I didn't quite floor it, but the car jerked back and accelerated hard pushing me into the seat.

I don't think the SprintBooster will help because I can literally floor it on a roll, and the car can hesitate at random times regardless of VDC. However, on first start and initial minutes of driving it pulls hard. After an extended period (15+ minutes) of driving is when the described problems creep up.
