1.8 gti
At the mot the guy wound the air box adjustment right down to pass emmissions.
I've subsequently discovered this is factory set and I should have adjusted the mixture screw on the throttle body.
Does any one know where the box adjustment should be set e.g 2.5 turns up etc. I want to get back to stock so that if I can't play with the throttle body I can go back to stock cheers in advance.

what you'll need is a proper CO meter, set it to around 1.8% then adjust the idle screw to get the rpm at around 900.
check the timing before you do the above though, make sure cam and crank are spot on TDC and the ignition timing around 6-8 degrees BTDC at idle with the vac pipe disconnected and plugged (line up the big diamond on flywheel)
and check over the rest of the kjet system, this thread covers all the basic kjet checks:

with a bit of adjustment and further air box tweaking I now have an uprated throttle body running in mot levels idling at 950ish rpm!! 😊

if you can find a kstar unit that allows you to tune the map, or better yet kstar+fuel as it can tune the fuel map a well. though you'll need to find a mapper who can talk kstar, and most of those are long since retired I expect
