Suggestions on how to raise idle speed?

Hi everyone, my idle is around 600rpm when in standard mode, and 800rpm when the sport button is activated. I have had both the Sharkwerks and AWE center muffler bypass exhausts installed, and with both I experience vibration at the 600rpm idle speed...which goes away when I hit the sport button and the idle bumps up to 800rpm.

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced option to modify the ECU to raise the non-sport mode idle from 600rpm to 800rpm?

Thanks,
Mike

I imagine that one of the tuners like Cobb could make you a custom tune that could do just that. You'd probably gain a healthy dose of power too coupled with your exhaust modifications. Contact the nearest Cobb tuner in your area and ask them.

He's been down that road already ^^^. Multiple visits to the installer, tech support from the vendor. There is no fix for him except to keep the car always in SPORT mode so that the idle is a couple hundred rpm higher.

I see no reason why a Cobb ProTuner could not program your idle in default mode to be a few hundred rpm higher. Have you asked them yet?

Good advice. I'll send an email to Cobb and see what they say. Thanks.
