i dunno where it should go but when i give it a bit of a rev in N it seems to take forever to drop back down, is this normal.

It's certainly not designed for spirited driving! It can't keep up!

Idle Speed Controller, its on the throttle body - its a small cylinder with a plug (ef,el's)
You can pull it off and clean it with metho, but IMO they suk arse. I left mine unplugged and turned the idle screw up a touch. Revs drop 11ty times faster, which is what I needed because I couldnt shift gears properly with it holding revs.
