Default Does APR chip/flash improve the DBW throttle response?
Or am I stuck with the non-linear DBW throttle response?

Default I think it makes it a little worse.
But you get used to it if you drive the car most of the time instead of switching between cars.

Default I thought it was a little better. This will sound really crazy, but
I actually thought the exhaust made a noticeable improvement too. I had that first.

Default I'll try to post a full review of it over the next few days on the B6 forum.
In a nutshell there are some definite benefits :-) as well as downsides :-( to running it.

After chipping, do you have to do the throttle body adaptation? What does that exactly do?
