Naa, the factory computer for the RX8 is probably one of the best ECUs ever created... the idle only starts surging after driving, or if it gets really hot. Since I got the SSV and VDI fixed, it does it less, and to less of an extreme, so I'm sure that was a lot of the issue.

Going to try setting the idle back to 1200 RPM tonight and see what happens.
