Gti throttle profile

I noticed the GTi's throttle has two alternative throttle cable grooves slightly different in shape, which I rightly guessed would change throttle response: I discovered the cable can be moved over and because the shape is different the throttle opens quicker when depressing the pedal which I think is better.

The question is, does anything else need to be changed along with this, I think throttle opening controls everything else in the engine management? Ie. there is no accelerator pedal sensor to take into account or anything?

Could the unused one be for the auto throttle kick down cable?

That hadn't occurred to me but yes, maybe, thinking about my old xm. Anyway I prefer the throttle response with it moved across. Kicks in with less pedal movement. I hope it's ok to drive like that. Dropping by the garage tomorrow so I'll get the low down.
