What is your Idle Speed?
After a few Mods my idle seems to be higher. I didn't pay much attention to it before but now it is around 850-900rpm. What does your idle? I have a powerloader on order, with this lower my idle or is there another way to reduce it?

Mine idles at 800 rpm, both when it had the stock exhaust and now with the Corsa. (I've only done the exhaust so far...)

735-740.
The computer asks for 725.
Yes, I'm a geek. I was playing around with the scanner just yesterday and this is one of the returned values....
