Do you run a dump valve or the standard re-circ valve?

Tried the lambda sensor or idle control valve?

Dump valve could be causing irratic idle. Take off the idle control valve and clean it with brake cleaner (from what I remember but not 100%). Dodgy lambda cab cause a missfire and hesitation, did on my old uk turbo.
