common problem, a few causes are iac valve, 02 sensor,etc. Theres alot of shit it can be. Yea they are pretty slow stock, but then again, alot of cars are slow STOCK. If you want some balls out of it, do a swap. The bpt,b6t, or bp swap are nice and are impressive. If you wanna work on it or whatever, i'm down as long as you buy your parts. Let me know. Peace
