    Can you adjust throttle response in vcds?

    When I drive my car in dynamic, the throttle response is too much. Car is supercharged v8 with lightweight flywheel and the throttle is just too jerky if you aren’t 100 percent linear and smooth.

    Anyway it can be adjusted? I doubt it but figured I’d ask to make sure.

    Have you tried setting ADS individual to comfort while keeping steering in dynamic?

    I believe that can also add efficiency mode which should deaden it further.

    Mind you this is on an auto but throttle response is part of the modes.

    I think it is adjustable only in the ECU.

    I noticed that when I went Stage 2 EPL that throttle response became more aggressive. I asked EPL whether they had altered the throttle response tables in the tune. I was told that they did not. Rather, power comes on earlier with pedal position because the supercharger is spinning faster, making more boost, at the same pedal position.

    I could be wrong, but this leads me to believe this is in the ECU tune. I did not see anything modifiable in VCDS, but I’m no expert in its use.

    Yes I agree on throttle response. In auto I have to push much further. Dynamic it’s like 1/4 the pressure needed before power goes crazy.

    I wonder if sprint boost would give me more response to leave it in auto.

    I don’t know. My throttle response is more aggressive in every mode. While it is more pronounced in Sport or Manual, it is more “touchy” in normal Drive mode, too,mcompared to stock or Stage 1.
