Default 996 Turbo - Hesitation at low rams

I own a 2001 Porsche 996 Turbo with 100,000 km and full service book.
The car is running perfectly and no fault. Bar pressure is normal and the car has new Plugs and Coils and MAF.
Only problem is that the car hesitates a bit with light thorttle in the first and second gear 1400-2300 rams.
Especially when the car is cold. Its Like a quick dead spot around 1500-2200rpm only on a light throttle application.
Someone have a solution to this. Little but annoying problem. Could it be a Throttle Body to be cleaned or replaced.??

Have you tried the E-Gas reset? My car hesitated like that when I got it. Ran like junk from a standing start. The reset worked. It only takes a minute so give it a shot. You might have to do it a couple of times. Good luck!

Intake leaks??? Tired Wideband O2's.. Check your fuel pressure? Have you checked for CEL's?

It sounds like the dreaded "Partial throttle Hickup" My car has it and i have been through it with no change. MAF, boost leak check, Plugs/coils, fuel filter, e-gas reset, throttle pedal lube, throttle body cleaning and seal, throttle body internal gear rotation, tried to correlate it with durametric logs, found nothing. It is slowly getting worse over the last 30K miles. i am starting to think it is my dual mass flywheel. Kind of feels like it slips and thud in forward and sort of does it on decell also.
