Default The adjustment screw near the TB...

Ok, i was messing with that screw a little today, because i would stall when i pushed the clutch in from 3rd or 4th gear. It seemed that the RPM's dropped a little too low, and the car would die. I saw the guy at my Tuning shop adjusting it when he put my CAI on, he would rev it and wait for the idles to drop all the way, than rev again and wait again, then adjust again. After about 2 minutes, he said...thats fine you can take it now. I got it back from the body shop a little while ago and im pretty sure they messed with it. I could twist it with a nail!
So, i turned it about 2 turns, and the car doesnt stall anymore. Should i have done that fine tuning stuff that the tuner at my shop did? What was he listening for? I just twisted it to the point that it wouldnt stall from 4th to neutral.
Thanks for any help.

i am not sure but i dont think that he was supposed to adjust your idle, all he had to do was reset your ecu. please dont hold me to this because he is the mechanic and probably has another way of doing things
