At the dealers I asked to turn on the demos to see if they idled the same and they did. Even my mates at work idles rough. I believe it has something to do with the turbo and the ecu. It has grown on me and now I like it as it feels mean. Dont worry their not as bad as the Maloos which idle very rough.

Even with APR Phase 2 mine idels as steady and smooth as a straight 6 should. Have you tried the 10 second engine turnover with accelerator to the floor to reset the cams?Dingah

Re-start engine. It certainly cleared some idling issues that I experienced early in the piece. Doesn't matter if you are facing East or West. It's not voodoo but I'd leave it to one of the technical gurus to explain exactly which part of the cam/timing in reset by this method.Dingah

The ECU will not allow the car to start under such conditions. Try it and be a believer.Dingah
