check that the manifold has actually sealed properly along the lower edge. There are a few things which stop it from sitting square onto the head, I can't remember what exactly from memory.

have you tried an ECU reset? link to faq: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=16861&page=last

my car kept revving to 3000rpm after changing the idle control valve, but then was told that the ecu had to be reset, and the car ran smoother than ever. just a long shot but worth a try for just diconnecting the battery. Hope you sort it mate. Chris

Air leak is the most likely reason and after that is the stepper motor-ICV- correctly fitted? Also check the throttle body is going back to a fully closed position when the cable is slack and not catching. The sensors should not do this.
Incidentally do not be tempted to fit the GTI 6 injectors they will overfuel dreadfully, the originals are much the best choice.
