my idle is weird
it's hit and miss with some intakes. Some cause problems, some don't, even though the intake may be the same brand/kit etc.
Who did your tune? Was it mail in, custom, dyno tuned, road tuned.....? Did they just tune it for WOT or for driveability also? Did they raise the idle, or anything else?

Have you tried the procedure (somewhere in manual) to reset idle:
1. warm up the engine
2. switch off, disconnect the battery for couple of seconds, then connect again
3. start the engine and let it idle for 5-10 minutes
For me it cleared all the problems that I had with idling (after tune - especially when AC switched on).

ever since i had my parts installed my car has been idling weird. whenever my car idles the rpm would drop to around 500rpm then back up to normal. whenever this happens i see the vacuum goes up to around -15 then back to normal. i got tuned the day after the parts were installed so i figure the problem will go away but it is still there. my car runs fine and im boosting normal but its only the idle that bothers me. does anybody know what the problem might be? im using my stock jdm mr dv btw and my mods are intake, fuel pump, tbe, and mbc.
Might have to go back to the stock rubber intake pipe and a cone filter...

I would have to disagree with HKS intake being the problem. Why? Well i am running the stock box still and i have had this idle problem for a while now. I just got road tuned and i still have the idle prob. Even the road tuner person was dumbfounded by the idle hiccups.
