[Mk2] [Turbo] rev3 idle intake

[paul_h]

apart from the idle control valve where does a rev 3 pull in air whilst on idle.

I am in the process of fitting a rev3 throttle body and i'm sure a rev2 pulls air through the throttle body where the rev3 doesn't appear too.

This make me think there must be another feed somewhere any ideas?

there is a screw for a bit of mechanical idle for the early ones but i shouldnt see a problem just with the idle valve.

yes the rev 2 has an idle adjust to let air bypass the throttle body, the rev 3 doesn't therefor my car wont tickover without creating a vacuum leak somewhere on the manifold. i was wondering where the rev 3 takes its additional air from

anyone?
