Default Tune/Driveability Question

I have a turbo b16 civic that got tuned on s300 a few months ago. Everything is okay so far except when I let of the gas. When I push the gas back down to accel there is a delay. I can push the pedal down up to like a 1/2in. before the car starts accelerating. The throttle cable is adjusted correctly. It does it in everygear, but more noticeable in the higher gears. What can I do to fix this?

The tps voltage and reading on hondata is correct. It's not turbo lag. I have an omni 70mm throttle body if that makes a difference.

Do you have a wideband oxygen sensor gauge installed on the vehicle?
If not, your going to be guessing as to what is going on.
Take the car back to the tuner for inspection.

I have a ngk plx and it works great. It's kinda hard to tell af since I am off the gas and of course its going to read lean, but when I ease into the throttle it goes back to the normal numbers like it should.

Well I messed with the tune last night in the low end where there wasnt much load. I got the car to stop doing what I originally posted when the car is up to normal operating temp. Now when the car is cold it still does it and if you are in the the rpms of 1-3k with very light throttle it seems to like hiccup. Almost like the fuel cuts off and on. It happens so quick that its hard to read the wideband.

I figure out that it was the TPS. It was like the voltage would change as the car got up to operating temp. Well I changed the TPS and haven't had a problem since. Thanks guys.
