Is a PWM Bosch Idle valve supported by MS-II 3.57 SMD?

I've done some reading in the megamanual to find this but is a VW bosch 2/3 wire PWM idle valve supported "out of the box, without mods" through the F-idle wire on the DB37? If so, is there a way to identify the transistor on the board? My unit is a couple years old, so not sure if this is a recent upgrade from the factory.

MS-II 3.57 SMD Code 2.6 (upgrading this weekend)

thanks all

All V3.57 boards are fitted with a miniature FET on the board capable of handling 5 amps for the IAC output on pin 3.

That's good to hear! I am under 5 amps, woo-hoo no more right foot IAC :yeah!:
