did i just make a boost leak?

So I am an FD owner in training. I bought my FD about 2 months ago and today I decide to take some stuff apart and see how everything fits.

I removed the black plastic elbow that connects to the throtle body along with the clamp that connects one end to the IC, and the AWC tube. Then I reinstall it the same way I took it off. I am quite sure that I didnt knock off any vacuum hoses either. But now when I start the car, it surges and hunts between 300 - 800 RPM.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

if your problem is at idle this would refer to a vaccum leak. check your boost gauge (if possible) to see what kind of vaccum your getting. a boost leak would refer to a leak when you are boosting....

Check the vac hoses to the map sensor and the AWS hose. You probably knocked one loose.
