Default faster accel at 40% throttle than at 100% throttle...

does this mean I need to do a throttle calibration?

I can really feel my turbo kick in if I throttle about half way down, but when I floor the gas, I barely feel anything. In fact, it feels like I accelerate faster when I don't gas as hard... Is that just because the effects of the turbo can be felt more because I'm not accelerating as fast?

OR again, is this because I just need to do a throttle calibration?

Default I am experiencing the same thing and think it might be a bad DV. I switched back to the stock and

it seems to be a little bit better.

Default A4 and S4 folks blame this on drive-by-wire

I just got back from a drive and was noticing it as well. Seems like now that the weather has gotten cooler it is more apparent.

You most likely need to perform the throttle adaptation procedure.

Default Re: Had same problem----------

Mine would do the same thing. Mine did this ever since I had owned it. Most noticable in 4th and 5th gear. With pedal fully depressed in 5th for awhile you could start lifting off a little bit at a time and the car would accelerate faster. You could feel it. I replaced my DV valve and it was like a whole different car. No more funny pedal. I see that you already have a Bailey. You might want to check it. Don't know if this will help you or not.
