Vacuum line help

OK. Call me names if you want but you have to try and help also. No just calling names.
Here's the story.
Car would not start second time after changing plugs. Thought might be a coil problem so decided to pull the UIM. After checking the coils. They were OK, started putting the car back together. Here are the questions.
Near the throttle body of the UIM there are four vacuum lines. The upper left and the lower vac line(facing the UIM from the front of the car). Which one goes where? The line with the immediate bend or the straight line goes on the top?
Second question; on the left side near the front of the car (person facing the car) there is the the "MT" bar near the alternator. There is one vac line that come out front of the "MT" bar. What line goes on that? I tried reading the vacuum diagram but it is like reading a chinese road map. In chinese. Crosseyed. Upsidedown and backwards.
I have everything hooked up to the best of my knowledge and car starts now. However it constantly revs up and down between like 1000 and 1500 rpms. I took it for a short spin (even though it is not liscensed yet) and get very little boost. But I did get to drive my seven for the first time since I bought it. (been like a year).

How do you resize to print? Would backwards vac lines on the UIM cause the unstable idle??

Mixed up lines shouldn't cause an unstable idle.

As far as printing it? Some programs will allow you to print poster size using multiple sheets of paper. However, some of those programs cost quite a bit of money. I'll attach the section you need in hopefully a printable version.

Thanx Mahjik. This helps alot with the vac lines. Is there a way to manually reset the ecu?? Unplug the battery or something like that?

It's free. No Windows machine should be without it.
