That nick doesnt look good to me-the manual I have specifically warns against
turning with a screwdriver for that reason.
New valve was $1300 nzd -ouch.
See if you can borrow one from a forum member to try on your car.

^^^ 2nd that. You can't change the idle rpm only the throttle bottom end damping.
I don't think the new TPS will change your idle. You have a vacuum leak somewhere or it is the ICV. I would also check the ICV and throttle body gasket for damage.

as a novice mech. how would i be able to check compression? will VAGCOM do it?
as for the ICV, i dont get ANY idle control codes (I did for a day or two when i removed it and then replaced it...but that was before i had the TB/WP changed). I would like to try replacing the fuel filter as well as hunt for a vac leak (where do i start with those two?). IF either of those dont pan out (as they are both relatively easy to perform) then i will move on to ICV (damn nick *shakes fist in air) and then ultimately move to the prediction of a bent connecting rod on one of the cylinders. Please help in directing me to Fuel Filter and Vac test. thanks all.

If you can change your plugs you can do a compression test
The compression test is the best way to gauge overall engine health short of dissasembly.<ul><li><a href="http://www.robsaudiworld.com/compression.htm">Rob Andrews Compression Test FAQ</a></li></ul>
