Hi peoples be patient with me, this is my first turbo. Just wondering is 1400 too hight to be idling at?

Can't comment for all years but I have a 2006 Hawkeye. Idle is about 700rpm when engine is warm. Fast idle when engine cold is about 1400-1500rpm but soon drops to 1000 and then 700-ish rpm.
Is controlled by the ecu on hawk but again not sure on older cable throttle models.

Cheers pal, cold start it's around 2k but after a few mins warm up its around 1400 (it's also a 94 import) smells a bit rich too
On another note... Would I benefit from a boost controller and turbo timer?

Could be an air leak, and no dont bother with a turbo timer just drive off boost for the last bit of your journey and stay away from boost controllers, leave that to the ecu to do its job.

things which will affect idle:

check throttle cable is not too tight on manifold.
check iacv valve position.
check tps position with a volt meter on the ecu.
check for air leaks.
