To set idle speed let the car come to operating temp then disconnect ISCV and use the screw under boost pipe on throttle body to set idle.

There is a lock nut on this screw.

The above is how to set HOT idle, the raised COLD idle speed is controlled by the ecu/chip, mainly from the CTS reading, ie the colder it says the engine is the faster it will idle.
