Series 5 Idle problem (no emissions)

On my friends car we just removed alot of crfap, (all the crap in the tb TB Mod, BAC, 6pi, Air pump, ACV, Power Steering, thats all I can thing of right now, but anyways on to the problem now,

The idle will not hold its ilde steady, if I adjust the screw on the top of the throtle body it does NOTHING, I have the TPS adjusted, Timming at 0, BTW this is a S5 N/A

anybody think they can help?

Well, something might have been missed when putting everything back together. Maybe one of the vacuum lines is going to the wrong place? How did you adjust the TPS? Did you use a multimeter or something like that? Right after I did my TB mod and emission removal at the same time I had the same issue. I just made sure everything was right where it should have been and re-adjusted the TPS. After the TPS was readjusted with the help of a multimeter, everything was good to go again.

I adjusted the tps using the 2 led method, I will do the multimeter soon.

Also just a note: I unplugged the power steering computer (after I removed it of course) and it seemed to help my idle prob for now... like I said multimeter is next
