check your throttle cable has a tiny bit of slack and not pulling on the throttle pulley and there is a thermo wax plunger on the right hand side of the throttle body...when the car warms up the plunger comes out and drops the idle down....if the car has been stood for awhile the coolant passage through the TB could be blocked and the car will never come off cold start.

theres photos and a write up in my build thread.

Thats already been sorted mate it turns out the lower intake manifold gasket was 50% missing and there were no gaskets on the turbos and they even had some studs missing and the down pipe was covered in exhaust paste
