Couple of hp or lbft wouldn't make that much difference.
I’ve had a couple of odd reactions from my TDI over the past month under heavy throttle. The car bogs almost like it is going into limp mode with a huge drop off in power. This lasts for a couple of seconds and then power comes back.

I found a procedure online to reset the drive by wire. Since the reset I haven’t had any weird power loss AND the throttle is linear. No more turbo lag off idle followed by a torque spike at 2,000 RPM. You might want to try it


To reset drive by wire
  1. Push the throttle all the way down and hold
  2. Turn on ignition but don’t crank the engine
  3. Continue holding down the throttle for 15 seconds
  4. Turn off ignition.
