Mind you again, this is a manual transmission.

If I take off from idle or close to idle at WOT, throttle will go up to 30-35% max, even with my foot on the floor. Once I hit 2100-2200 rpm, it shoots up to 100% throttle.

I've already tried the throttle reset, and nothing really has changed. Any suggestions on what this could be or what's causing it?

Sloppy ECU flash / rubber burn protection?
Did you try it in dyno mode?

That's a byproduct of the so-called 'torque management' feature for passenger comfort and driveline preservation.
Your tuner at OE has clever workarounds to delete or override it for you for next to nothing.

Haven’t ever personally experienced any C230 with enough thrust to sufficiently tickle my ********* even when its ECU commands 100%/WOT, however.
Thus the M113K.

Good to know. I'll talk w/Jeremy and have him handle it. Thank you kindly, sir.
