I couldn't find how to reset this on a 958.2 using the search function. Maybe I missed it?
We just picked up a 16 GTS and and I'd like to reset the throttle adaptations. I've seen several techniques through Google search, but they're all aimed at other Porsche models.
I've owned it for a week today. There's nothing wrong with it, I just mentioned how much hesitation it has before a hard "hit" in torque and was comparing it to my V8 S. A buddy said that the throttle adaptations could help with that.
If its a big deal, I won't do it. It's not a real issue. It's just nowhere near as smooth.
When I corner and hit the gas, it feels like nothing happens for a second or two and then it launches forward.
There isn't any way to do this without an expensive tool to the best of my knowledge. I doubt it would bring a lot of benefit anyways. The V6 isn't the V8, and from the factory it feels a bit lazy for a 440hp engine. A tune will go a long way towards waking it up.

I would love to tune it but I don't want that to void my third party warranty...

That is just moving from an N/A engine to a turbo. All turbos have turbo lag. Keeping your RPM higher will reduce it...compare the lag in normal mode vs sport mode when you are shifted down a gear or two.
Reset the throttle adaptation's. Definitely worth doing. Trans is more responsive and weird shift to third is corrected. Costs nothing and your car is like new again
