The funny small hose molded into the side of the intake manifold
inlet hose
feeds the idle stabilization valve. They get gunked up with excess
turbo oil
and can usually be restored to operation by removing, cleaning, and
reinstalling.
It has an electrical connector so make sure the contacts are clean
and providing
a good connection. Some contact cleaner is recommended--Caig De-Oxit
from
Radio Shack or Stabilant 22 maybe.
The high boost problem is something else. Do you have any stored
DTC's or
see the MIL on during misfire ? Pull codes and remove and inspect
plugs and
boots. Then visit:

for parts or advice.

Of course. That's without reading the rest.

When is it you don't use the A/C in FL ?
