1st gear WOT not quick?

Post by ericem »

IDK why this is like this, but for some reason half throttle first gear pulls really quick, but first gear again manual mode full throttle reallly slow like literally NO turbo at all it feels like, reminds me of my N/A wagon when I floor it. Need to plug in my usb cable and revscan to log full throttle. 2nd gear the car feels linear in the pedal though like full throttle will actually pull harder.

In manual it is taking off in second gear to stop wheel-spin.

It is? Even with the shifter in 1st? Appears to be 1st gear the way the revs and speed meet up.
