Idle control valve or how to control idle

[RuskiWeldFab]

Hi Guys.
Here is my dilemma. I have 172ph2 inlet. With aftermarket cable throttle body. With DTA s60 ECU. What’s the best way to control my idle?
Solution 1, get ph1 idle valve, drill hole in the inlet, job done. ?
Solution 2? ....
any ideas are welcome.

Would something like this work instead of PH1 valve? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/222466221806

Having had a look at the dta s series manual it looks like you'd be best using a bosch 0280 140 512 idle valve as they quote this type in the manual but others will most likely work. The clio one may work with the ecu but as its a 4-wire stepper motor type so I would personally go for the bosch one as the clio one will use up more outputs on the ecu.. Doesn't have to be mounted directly onto the manifold then either so will probably be easier to fit also as you just need to run pipe either side of the throttle body through the idle control valve.

Thank you! I am %100 swaying towards that solution.
