Just done my swirl flaps, the inlet was a right state so i gave it a real good clean whilst i was there. The whole job took about 3 hours!!
Well went for a blast and everthing seems the same except the rpm's at idle are now too high, it is sitting as 1300 instead of 800!!!
any of you guys have the same problem or am i missing something?
Help would be appreciated guys

What price are PMW quoting?
Secondly I told the wife I was just changing a light bulb....(she was none the wiser despite me tinkering for 2 hours in the garage), otherwise I would have needed to spend a day or two explaining what a swirl flap was!!!
