God do I hate that answer. Hmm...I always hear to use some carb cleaner and try to find it, but I never have had any luck with that.

use a water hose. If the engine bogs down...its a leak. Water is your friend.

If you floor it in neutral, does this happen?

Sometimes in neutral it will, sometimes not so much. But yeah, it will do it in neutral.

I disconnected the boost sensor and it helped some and made my idle almost completely solid. Anyone have any ideas? Bad boost sensor?

Alright I fixed it. Was a vac leak that was hiding. One of my hoses from my fmic had one clamp that was half way off on the bottom. Thanks for the help.
