A Question for Those of You WITH the Visconti Tune

For those of you WITH the Visconti tune.

Did any of you have the Idle Dip/CEL problem before the tune?

I had the idle dip, but no CEL prior to the tune. After the tune, NO idle dip and still no CEL.

Was getting very bad dips pre tune, no where near as bad now. I dont even notice them unless i look down and look at the rev counter, at least for me it goes no where near as low as it did before.

I had the idle dip, and rough idle during warm up, no CEL. Im now 300 miles into the tune and all issues are much better, if not resolved completely.

Same for me but replace 300 miles with 1k miles. Still no issues.

I never had CEL or idle dip problems. Although I will say, the stock rom idles at 650, and @Visconti 's idles around 800-850. Kinda weird, but whatever.

Would the tune some how mask the problem with a higher idle? In other words, could you still have the issue but just not realize it? Could that cause longer term issues?

I'm still not sure Toyota / Subaru have a handle on the problem.

Maybe? I wouldn't know. I don't have many of the issues people have had. The only thing I do have is the idle chirping. Even that's sporadic.
