Default Idle issues with fi ?????

I've had a whipple setup and now a turbo setup and have had idle issues for the past several years with both. I have replaced the tps twice, and the intake once and have finally just set the thing to idle another couple hundred rpm to keep it running.
It has taken care of it for the most part, but with putting a new (and hopefully last) engine in this thing in a few weeks I'd like to solve the issue for good. No change in idle with carb cleaner, and we've replaced the intake gasket at least 3 times now with the various installs. any other ideas? thx

6.0 drive by wire with stock intake and cam.

Don't know for sure, but when I did my Radix install my truck idle would swing pretty good until we changed the RPM up a bit also. Every once in a while it will bobble, but changing the idle for the most part seemed to fix it..

That's what I've done which is'nt really fixing it, it's just compensating for another issue I think?

Put the MAF in front of the throttle body (blow through in your case)... unless Greg talks you into Speed Density tuning. I have talked with Mike as well and he really wants me to try SD. I know when Mike was tuning for me at Xtreme we had great luck when the MAF was setup as a "blow through". I'll have my MAF mounted in front of the throttle body for now. I am hoping to have the truck running by the end of the week and will report back to you
