Default clutch feel completely different with AC on?

Hey guys ive noticed this for a while now just wanted to make sure its normal. When i drive without the ac on i have to rev more to be able to take off from a standstill smoothly. When the ac is on its very easy just barely even press the gas and its alot more smooth. Is it normal for this to happen also feels like the engagement point changes a tad with it ON or OFF as well thanks for any feedback.

yes when the ac is on you need to let go clutch slower. it gives a kick if you dont. try with tcs or vdc off

My take...

I think it might be the fact that the ECU bumps up your idle when the A/C is on. For me I notice it is a little easier to take off smoothly from a stop with the higher idle. I'm sure nothing is changing with your clutch.

I'd like to get my idle raised so it stays that high all the time.
