Any knowledgeable Vitesses tune techs out there?

Hi all, so I switched to a Vitesse Maf tune on my 86 951 about 7 months ago from a Lindsey Maf tune. Had a friend that has a 944 and quite a bit of mechanical know-how swap it over. Initially the idle was solid hovering around 13 to 14.7. now the idle is very lean, at 17 (or beyond ?). At crusing speeds (from 45 to 85) its solid, 13 to 14.7 also. I wanted to see if anyone out there knows of someone who is knowledgeable in adjusting / checking for any faults that the tune (or the car?) might have. Most Porsche shops don't want to work on a modified 944 turbo. and unfortunately I don't know how to get down like that with this car. I am in the Long Beach area CA, and am willing to drive to surrounding counties. The car runs great at FWY speed and even at full throttle. Its just at idle that it feels like a POS.

Every part on the car was replaced, the engine was taken out 2 years ago for a top end rebuild / reseal, and I replaced all the sensors etc. It even has a Lindsey wiring harness. 044 fuel pump and a new Pierburg FPR. I used to have a Lindsey racing unit but it had major vacuum leaks.

I appreciate any recommendations, and sorry for long sob story.....its frustrating!

John at Vitesse has been very helpful , but unfortunately I dont have the skills to put his advise / recommendations into fruition.

You might try Lart up in Bell, CA if you haven't already.
He knows his way around some of the MAF stuff, or could direct you to someone nearby who does.

PM me for his phone #
