it's all ecu controlled, so not really possible to 'tune' it, mine idles at 1k until it's hot, then drops to about 800, sometimes a tiny bit less maybe

Yeah you need a new ICV. They are notorious for giving up even after they have been cleaned.
It should run at 1000rpm idle when cold then gradually drop to 800rpm at 80 degrees.
Yours however may be different as you are in a hotter climate than us. Yours might not hit 1000rpm even when stone cold
