fill a spray bottle with water and set it to a fine mist. idle the car, spray some water around each and every connection between air filter and intake manifold. if there is a hole/leak in a pipe the idle speed will drop when sprayed with the mist of water. let us know how you go. assuming you are running stock ecu, then there is also a chance the exhaust will poor out black smoke when under boost.
