Free Mod, WGS removal, now high Idle

[No_Skillz]

Like the title says, I removed the restrictor from the WGS, connected everything back nice and tight, except now my car idles at about 1.2~1.3k when it first starts up, and then calms down to 1k in less than a minute. I'm afraid to run it for long because I don't know what bad affects it might have. Is this normal or did I do something wrong?

I also cut the dump tube, everything is bolted back nice and tight. I don't think this did anything to idle but maybe...

I used to idle smoothly at far less than 1k.

I did a few searches but didn't really come up with anything.

Any input will help. I have to drive it in like an hour.

isnt that just the car warming up cuz my car idles higher when first started?

I think he means that it used to idle prolly around 500-700RPM and now it is up to 1000-1300RPM after performing the mod.

So after driving around a day (and attending Mitsubishi Day at Raceway Park) the idle problem has solved itself. It went back to normal after about 5 mins of driving and never went back up.

However, I noticed that my BOV sound is almost completely gone. I have the stock plastic POS, but where it used to make a loud "PSHEEW" now does a soft "shuh." Is this because I cut the dump tube? I think I'm holding boost ok since I did a 3rd gear pull with my friend and kept pretty even with him throughout.

I did the restrictor mod yesterday also and my idle has gone to 1500 rpms. My check engine light also came on. I cleared the code with the battery cable and it came back on on my next test drive. Should I put it back in???

do you mean the honey comb filter? if you have a 2g i would not take that out, and i for the bov not making a noise after cuttin the dump tube i did that in my 95 gsx and the same thing happened but mine was all stock idk about you guys

I did the 2g Waste Gate Solenoid Restriction Removal, that is when the idle went up and check engine light came on. Anybody else have this problem. If that is a problem then why is it on the free mod list on this site???

My idle returned to normal after about 5 mins of easy driving and never was a problem again. I also never got the check engine light. Did you make sure to plug the wire back in the Solenoid when you were done? Also, check to see that all your hoses are nice and tight and in the right place.

I cut my dump tube as well and my blow off got quiet but if you just go and get some CAI it gets louder again. As for the idle problem, as far as I know it does it when its first started up after that it calms down. Ive have done both of these mods to my car as well and I am running fine and have for a long time.
