try to clean out the ICV (idle control valve ) and check if your PCV is leakin as this would cause revs to rise (the small L shaped valve coming out of the rocker cover that connect to the inlet mani via a hose)

You may also have a boost leak. Common reason for high idle. Check all boost pipes, Intercooler pipes, dump valve etc. Do you hear a high pitched whine from anywhere in the engine compartment?

A faulty ICV will make it erratic, but i doubt it would create high idle really. Worth cleaning it though as mentioned above.
