06+ DBW throttle wire adjustment
This may alleviate all the comments about lag in the drive by wire system introduced in the MY06's. I was wondering what was in that black box on the driver side so I popped it open and tadaa:
There was actually quite a bit of slack in the wire, just as in the throttle cable of the good ole pre-MY06's and B-series engines.
Simple procedure:
1. Undo 10mm bolts A and B to open the black box.
2. Feel slack by pushing down with finger at E.
3. Hold the whole contraption with one hand and undo 12mm bolt C.
4. Turn bolt D so that it tightens the wire.
5. Tighten bolt C again.
6. Test slack at point E again but make sure you tighten so that the swivel is closed at rest. You want to be just a bit on the loose side.
7. Put the black box on again with the 10mm bolts and you're done.
You should experience a slight improvement as the throttle will feel tigher.

I can't notice a difference at all in lag and I didn't even know about this. I thought the same as bronfufu that there were no cables whatsoever.
I might try this just to see if there really is a difference. Like most "free" mods you'd be hard pressed to acually tell if you did anything at all.

Here is a picture of the throttle body with its "DBW" solenoid mounted right on the side:

Here is a pic of the "accelerator pedal sensor" (which looks more like what's pictured above):

That is the cruise control not the DBW system .
Adjusting it will have no effect on the response .

THAT IS THE THROTTLE CABLE ADJUST FOR THE DBW ON A 06
