ive just got a fresh 12 months ticket today. woohoo! but the tester said he has screwed my idle control scre in two rotations to get it through emissions. the car drives fine but i havent gone on boost as im worried this will effect the fueling. does it effect anything other than the idle? im wondering if i should screw it out again?

as far as i'm aware it only affects idle, fuelling on and off boost is controlled by the jets

cheers mark, i thought that would be the case but its always worth checkin! seems to be idleing ok for the minute but will see how she goes.

im just wondering if he has screwed the mixture screw in instead of the idle screw. would this be a cause for concern?
