with a T1, even with tuning mine didn't idle at all! i had to drill out the tb hole so enough air was getting into the engine even at idle.

I think a B1 should idle ok without tuning, its not quite as lope as a T1.

Hey M6 T1 guys, can you give me some help? With my new T1 in there, the car has a hard time finding idle at startup. I have to hit the gas a little and hold the revs at 1000 for a few seconds, to help it kind of find the idle. If I don't it will die (especially on cold start) or it will surge between 500-1300 for a few seconds until it settles in at 800. Once it settles at 800, there's no problems. Just at any startup. I haven't done any TB drilling, will this cure the problem?

Just be sure that you have an HPP3 to raise your limiter and shift points. I have the Comp XE-R 224/224, .581"/.581", 112 LSA in my A4, and it's working great with Ed Wright's tuning. I have the idle in gear right at 775-800, and it sounds great with no streetability problems at all.

of course it will.
I am running a T1 with no tuning on an M6,
You might just have to drill out the throttle body plate hole a little bit.

Will the B1 Cam Idle Without Computer Tuning? You should be fine.

In an A4 car you might have to raise the idle just a bit, via the TB hole or bending the tab.

Good Luck!

p.s., there are lots of B1 user, cam comments on my cam page.
