Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon Qtronic (automatic) - brake switch ECU delay - ILD

When moving off, I have always kept my foot on the footbrake just as you would with the handbrake on a hill start in a manual car.

As we all know, whoever programs the ECU restricts the throttle until the brakes are off.

On my car, it must check several times before the throttle responds and then there is the turbo delay. This results in a delay of a few seconds.

Do you know of any chip tuner who can remove this link?

Thanks
