Did you replace the factory boost lines with aftermarket ones? If not, then you should. Keep the boost selenoid plugged in though, otherwise you will get a CEL. Hope that helped.

if you have a mbc you need to eliminate the factory lines all together

on idle, whats ur RPM? if its more than the usual 900 - 800 then im guessing u should check your vacum hoses.. there are the most important ones that are right behind the intake manifold.. hard to reach but not impossible..
