the a4 should idle around 650-750. if youve got a cam it can go in either direction if you dont have a good tune. mine with a tune that is actually for a car with a different a4, different gears, and different stall idles at a little more than 500. since im a cheap *** and wont get it tuned till i put the cam in it almost feels like it wonts to cut off sometimes. but 800-900 is fine for an m6
