This is a little different than most, as I have DSMlink, and a MAFT setup on my car. Also i removed the FIAV, and the IAC is blocked. Yet my idle still wanders around 2-400 RPM when i am sitting at idle.
Does anyone have any input. At this point i am thinking that it is the MAF sensor.
 
My suggestion to you read the rules bumping is prohibited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would you block off the pieces that control the idle???? Their in lies your problems! After reading your profile I'm asuming that your car is built for drag and not a DD. Boost leaks tend to cause surging.
 
I took it off, to try and see if i could isolate the problem, I replaced the TB seals, TB gaskets, lower injector seals, and blocked the EGR. The only other place i can have air getting in now is either from the crankcase through the rings, or from the intake manifold gasket.
I actually drive the thing everyday, its a blast.
