Default rs turbo high reving

i brought my new s2 a few weeks ago and it was running fine when i brought it. It was set up by pj motorsport in january and dyna packed at 203bhp. This last week or so it has started ticking over high as if stuck on choke. its now ticking over at about 1500rpm even when warmed up.It stil drives and pulls fine iand its running 20psi. Ive got it booked in my local garage monday and they are going to check out the c0 for me. But is this likely to be the cause of it ticking over high and does the car need going back on the dyna pack for a proper set up.

Maybe you have an air leak or a sticky throttle body?

already checked for the sticky throttle body but its fine. would the car run alright though if it had a air leak on the inlet. I cant see why it would start leaking if it hadnt been touched either.

just picked my rs up and its now running spot on . Apparantly the c0 was above 10 and they have now set it at 2 point something cant remember the exact figure. Guess thats why it was using so much fuel. Id just like to no if it needs going back on the rollers with it running 20 psi because i dont want to end up with a fooked engine
