How are the EQT OTS / base Accessport tunes?

Are you on the V2 file? The throttle sensitivity has been made more consistent. But I still get some people who want it to be more sensitive...

Yes sir! Installed 2.0 yesterday and have been loving it. I noticed the same throttle sensitivity on v1.25. Not necessarily a bad thing, just something new to get used to. But I'm probably in the minority when I want the gas pedal to use 100% of it's range. A lot of cars, when you give it say 60% throttle, it feels the same as 100%.

I can't speak for anyone else, I was just talking about being in 1st gear, and simply pulling away from my house and barely touching the throttle. That said, I'm coming from a JB 1, straight to stage 1 v2.

Hammersticks, this is exactly what I've noticed as well. It's very light throttle in 1st & 2nd gear most noticeably. But as I mentioned above, not a bad thing...just a getting used to thing. I just have to train my foot that once RPMs hit around 1500 or so, just ease off the gas if you want a more linear acceleration under very casual driving circumstances. It somewhat reminds me of when I owned a Chevy Cruze 1.4t. The behavior under light low speed acceleration is very similar.

Masks don't prevent you getting the virus. They help prevent you spreading it to others if you do have it.

And to those people I recommend getting a pedal box. No need to make a tune overly sensitive based on isolated requests, IMHO.

The problem with masks is they're uncomfortable and some are itchy. So you're touching stuff and then touching and adjusting the masks and then they're contaminated.

Thank you! At least someone gets it. I see people doing all sorts of weird things with masks at work every day. The best one is wearing a mask around one's neck and not even pretending to cover their mouth and nose.

I have to wear one in the pharmacy while I'm picking up my deliveries but I don't cover my nose because the material is fuzzy and itchy and makes it hard for me to breath because I have COPD. They don't like it so I tell them I'm wearing it this way or they can bring everything outside to me.

Lol, do it, tell them to bring it out to you

I did and they say just hurry up and get your deliveries in order and get out. Plus when you enter the pharmacy you have to wash your hands and take your temperature and put on a mask. But you don't have to wear gloves. So an asymptomatic person not wearing gloves is spreading their germs all over the place.

Can’t you also adjust it with obd11 also?

There are certain settings that can be done via OBDeleven, but they are nowhere near what a pedal box offers.

And I recommend the BMS Pedal Tuner.

I also noticed the "sensitivity" in 1st and 2nd, especially when pulling off from a stop, but attribute it much more to coming from JB4 and the throttle lag inherent with DSG. Like anything else, just need to get used to it and adjust for it a bit. I'd rather have this than the non-linearity feel I had. EQT's stage2 93 is light years ahead of what I'm used to.

Completely agreed. Pick your poison, and at least you know it’s working. That said, thankfully my wife hates driving my car, because I would honestly be concerned for her and others’ safety. Amazing woman, but lacks the ability to feather the throttle of an automobile.

Mine can't stay off the curbs .
