Re: sucky idle problems with the Mad Max turbo roc

Dick,

thanks for the advice.
Is there a way to test the warm up regulator?
I have an Audi turbo regulator as well, but I don't want to
install that if I don't have to....
Also, would a faulty aux air regulator cause any idle problems?

thanks,

Alex Ting
