got boost (slight return)?

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Derek,

By what you describe, you have an air leak somewhere -- since you have less
vacuum at idle and less boost on boost.  Check all of your vacuum hoses -
paying particular attention to the one from the back of the intake manifold
to the bypass valve.
