Re: normal idle speed? I've had the ST3500 TC for over a year, and mine will not idle at the same rpm consistently, but I hardly even notice anymore unless I happen to be watching the Tach through extended idling.
My idle may be (by the car Tach) anywhere from 500 - 650 rpm in drive, w/AC off. Something about the TC seems to effect the idle.
I've P&P, epoxied the TB, and optimized the IAC counts, but it just does it anyway.
