Default Idle / vibration question

This is a bit of a strange one but...

Sometimes when idling (rarely) but more often when ive stopped on a hill the car doesnt seem to idle properly (or very well). There also seems to be a vibration running through the car/steering wheel.

This all seems to have started since i fitted my guages (oil temp/pressure/boost), which did require the removal/refitting of the intercooler but thats about it.


Im just about to put the car in for a 90k service early which might rectify it.

That might explain it, the intercooler was off before this started to happen.

How/why does it cause it to happen?
