low idle?? wtf

heres my question for you, how do you know your idling at 400 rpms? the lowest on the tach is 500 rpms! I think your wastegate is out, my car idles at 500, but thats because of my Unichip.

Huh, why do you say it's because of the unichip? Did you have it programmed to do that. It should not do that on the preloaded maps. Does idle normally without the unichip?
 
i know its because of the unichip because i remove it and the idle is normal, i put it back in and its really really low

That is strange I've been running Unichip for a long time now and I believe my car is more heavily modded. I've had idle issues, but never because of the Unichip. Once from the IAC, once from the EGR and a couple of times from various vac leaks that I probably created while modding. It should not be causing your car to idle down like that. Do you have the unichip EBC hooked up? If so, does it still idle low without the EBC installed?
