Do you have a hole in your TB butterfly? I have a 75mm tb and the previous owner plugged the hole with a piece of tape.
(I am in a process of fixing a surging idle. I may have found a vaccum leak)
 
And some guys do seal it up (with something better than tape) because of the whistle or idle issues.

Good luck.
 
I'll be messing with my idle this week and I don't know if I should leave the hole open or closed.
So far to fix the idle I got the "Idle plate" that fits between the IAC and the TB and changing out my 30lb injectors for some used 24's with a MAF.
I also found a cracking old rubber cap thats blocking some Vaccum tubes under the upper intake manifold.
(BTW I might be looking into that "Notch above the rest" t-shirts)
