no, you need a real remapper to CHANGE the drivers wish maps. any add-on device will makethings worse. With electronic throttles, the throttle opening isn't constant for a given throttle input.

Cable throttle and N/A and manual for most enjoyment
OP - did you know the throttle pedal delay is intentionally mapped like that? With VAGCOM you can reduce the delay to 0 for a slightly more enjoyable drive.

I have owned one DCT equipped vehicle (2010 Ralliart) and driven quite a few others, including VAG products. So far, i prefer a normal A/T or Manual gearshift. Maybe there's one out there that would change my mind but haven't driven it yet. Also, the DCT fluid cost was very expensive when i owned the Mitsubishi ($19/qt) and it needed ~8qt every 20-30k miles when slippage would start.
The GLI 6-sp, on the other hand, is very nice.

I don't think there's an ECU switch from the clutch otherwise the people from the VW forums would have mentioned removing it. They have suggested some form of pedal bypass that remaps the input.

Thanks! I'll have to check out VAGCOM if there is a way to reduce DBW pedal lag. I also read that the GLI's stock dual mass flywheel may also contribute to the laggyness.
I am getting better at matching the revs during downshifts now though with my stock GLI. For sequential downshifts from sixth to third gears I blip the throttle all the way to the floor. From third to second it's more a hit or miss since full blip is too much.
