Wide Open throttle == no vacuum for the brakes. No vacuum == needs more effort. More effort needed == Sheeple think the brakes are broken. VAG actually got this one right. My '05 GTI is DBW. As soon as you hit the brakes, the ECU sends an idle signal to the throttle. Annoyed the crap out of my when I was autocrossing it since I couldn't left foot brake.
