Is the light for running lean or for a high idle?

It sounds like you have a vac leak.

the light is for running lean it's idling a little high at times but i figure that's just cause the computer is trying to re-adjust after the huge difference in air flow. the idle doesn't always run high and that's not really a concern i don't think.

Your thread title is about high idle, so it sounded like the concern.

There is no NISMO intake for the 1.8, so I take it that you used a MAF adapter on a 2.5 NISMO intake?

Autozone carries it. I don't know the part # off hand, but if you search you might find it. You could probably ask them and they could figure it out.
