Message	I've checked just about everything I can think of. I dont seem to have much pull in first or second gear. I can dump the clutch in first at 3500 rpms and I get a little better acceleration, maybe chirp the tires but it seems far less powerful than my other stock TT z's I've had in the past. However in third and really in forth I get plenty of acceleration when getting on it. The car drives like one with larger turbos and excessive lag. I've checked for; vacuum leaks, wiring connections and corrosion, fault codes, the 6p's for good measure, the injectors pass click and ohm test, tested the ptu and cas, as well as swapped both with other units. Oh and I also adjusted the clutch and inspected for signs of slipping. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear em. I suppose it is also possible its in my head and its just been a while since I've driven and really got on the gas in a stock turbo'd z.
