ok fixed it



i'm not sure of the proper name for what i adjusted but here goes:



There's a threaded bolt (no head, threaded with a slit in top) that has a nut put on top to hold it in place. The job of the bolt is to specify the throttle's closed position. i simply removed the nut, turned out the bolt a bit, tested it's idle, put the bolt back on and walah, a perfect 900 rpm idle . (800 seemed low)

lol i was staring at the TB for a while, i felt stupified, i just kept opening and closing the throttle couldnt find anything that would do any good.



thn i saw this little crusty looking screw, and it all hit me in a flash lol.



now im designing a boost controller, it's only cost $4.74 so far and with the extra hose ya gave me i shouldnt have to pay for hose until the testing period is over.

The screw you found is called the idle stop speed screw. I think.
