Default BBK throttle body idle adjustment

I just installed an 80mm BBK throttle body on my 2000 A4 and the
car runs good except if I blip the throttle when idling in neutral the revs
dip well below my normal idle (625rpm) and then slowly return back to
normal. Is there a procedure for proper adjustment of the blade idle stop
screw ? Also the BBK throttle body has a stop that prevents the throttle body
blade from opening past 90 degrees where my stock body the blade
can open past 90 to where it would reduce airflow at WOT how does the
PCM figure all this out or does it ?
