Clutchmasters FX400 rattle/raise idle RPM

Professionally installed a year and a half ago. The clutch or pressure plate or lightweight flywheel has been rattling at idle almost since it was put in and seems to be getting louder. I love the setup for performance driving but it can be annoying in everyday driving.

I have a friend who had a similar setup installed in his mid 90's Corvette. To counteract the rattle he had the idle raised from about 700 to 1000 RPM by having the ECM chip reflashed. This was enough to get rid of most of the idle rattle.

My question is is there a way to adjust idle RPM on the Mini? A screw on the throttle body or throttle stop or something similar? I do not want to change the Air/Fuel mixture or timing or anything too exotic, just mechanically raise the idle if possible. I searched the forum and did not see this discussed.

Thanks
