I just did this adjustment and all I can say is what a difference. Mine was at .35 and sticker said .559. I set it at .56 and now I can actually drive with my adrenaline turned up past 3 on any tune. Before it was hard to normal drive on any setting above 3. Even the torque tune is so much better. I also notice with the adrenaline on the higher settings my turbo seems to come to life in a hurry. I highly recommend this to anyone, well worth the time

Do I need to have it set at the stock idle. I've had a rough idle so I turned my idle up to about 950 and it goes away. Maybe this will fix it. What should I have the idle at.

Not sure if this will fix your rough idle or not but it sure makes a difference if your off a little. Shocked me that a little bit of difference in voltage could make such a huge difference. I think you could leave your high idle for now and set it back sometime after you reset and see if it helped.

what I was saying was since I have the idle set high will it be a different voltage do I need to turn the idle to normal to get the correct voltage. I can't remember what it was supposed to be set at. thanks

Havent had a chance to take it for a test drive.

So when I take my 1st reading at the orange/blue wire from C1 and than get my 2nd reading at the APPS wire can I rotate the APPS as needed and then re-check the wire out of C1 with everything apart and the key on, or do you have to put it all back together and try again if you adjusted it too much or too little?

Just get your voltage reading from the orange wire with the blue tracer (Pen #23). Keep your volt meter connected and rotate the APPS until you get the correct voltage and then tighten the screws to the apps. As you tighten the screws keep a check on the voltage.

No expert here but, I would say no. You setting your idle shouldn't affect this. Anyone else know for sure
