[Mk2] [Turbo] high idle rev2 turbo

Post by Antno »

it idles at 1800 until you take the oil cap off.then it drops down to 1000. if you remove the breather pipe off the rocker cover it idles at about 800 bout because the is a hole after the maf meter it will run lumpy then stall. so i thought it was the breather blocked but it wasnt. the thing that i have found is that someone has drilled a 6mm hole in the throttle butterfly. so you would think there is a problem with the idle circuit. is there any reason why someone whould do this?(modifications or somthing). is there a common fault with the idle system that is a ball ache to fix or expensive? the car did have a xs intercooler on it and hardpiping possably other bits bov ect.
Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated
cheers

You need to change that, should not have any hole in the butterfly.
