Installed Ported TB now idle issue
My car does the same thing (yes its a M6). I had my TB P/P by Smokin87TA (great job BTW) 
The idle will hang a little (200-300 rpm) for a few seconds and then settle to about 900 rpm.
I can feel it happen when I decelerate (take foot off gas completely) while in gear. The motor will increase in drag after a few seconds.
It does make heel/toeing a little easier
I haven't tried changing the idle screw settings though

I know how you feel - it's really annoying. And it's great when it finally quits.

FWIW, I was having the same issue, my battery connection was dogshit and it kept cutting out, so the computer kept resetting, so I was putting up with this forever. For about three weeks I haven't had an issue, cleaned the contacts and torqued it down good. Did it for a while, but after 3 weeks, it doesn't do it anymore, ever. If you had your battery disconnected for whatever reason, like the one guy said, it may in fact take a month. I have a feeling it needs to go through a GM drive cycle, which is a PITA to do anyway, but after a few weeks of normal driving should be ok. I daily my car so that should give you an idea how long it'll take... ASSUMING of course it isn't a faulty IAC, leak, etc...
