Loosen both screws on it and move the entire housing. It is very sensitive and can be a bitch to get set exactly right at times.

Yep move the whole plastic housing.

You should notice a big difference in throttle response once you get that set properly. Mine is currently at 0.97, and wass a biatch to set. It was a 0.8X and noticed a difference when I fixed mine, you're car must be running like crap being at 0.3x.

To help with the adjustablilty some remove the TPS and oversize the holes a bit with a drill. Yes a properly adjusted TPS is key.

After setting it you may want to reset the idle.
