My 1989 will not idle well at start. Installed a turbo last year and working on the tuning. When car gets warm it idles like a champ. Just need some advice on warmup enrichment and how to set a fast idle on start.

Warm up enrichment can be adjusted. If the car surges and seems lean, add a few % in those areas.

Fast idle on start is set via Idle Cranking Duty/Steps, it can also be adjusted in the initial values table.
