Okay, I've got this annoying problem where when I first start off, I have slow acceleration. Whether I got the throtle moderatly open, or I got the pedal to the floor it slowly gathers speed. If I have the throtle wide open when I get to 15 mph the car rockets aided by the turbo. Obviously, this good performance cancels a lot of typical problem theories. The idle sits at about 750, which is normal.
Here are some of the things I've already done:
-Cleaned the TB and idle control motor
-Re-checked the timing (after installing a new belt)
-Checked the ATF level

I have had a suggestion about something wrong with the AMM, but I don't know how to test that without paying someone to do a diagnose.
