This sure sounds like a vacuum leak. Tighten the bolts from the inside to the outside.
To locate the vacuum leak, use a spray bottle of water around the gaskets and fitting, helps amplify the sound of the leak.
Good luck

Did you transfer that little rubber vaccuum plug on the stock plenum over to the new one?
Where you careful with the throttle body...and did you make sure to NOT disconnect it?

Ok, got it workin fine, well I think. She idles now fine like before BUT my Oil Pressure is only reading between 5 and 10 PSI at idle, and about 30-35 psi while driving, or accelerating. I am pretty sure it used to be alot higher during both conditions. I will try resetting the ecu one more time to see if that fixes it, OH and when I made a hard stop my oil pressure dropped to 0 and the oil light came on for a moment and then went out, but scary nonethless when I have oil in the car.
Lemme know what you guys think.

The oil problem is something serious that needs to be addressed. I think you just happened to stumble across it when you were doing this work. The source of the issue could be something else, but it is worth the $25 for an oil change to be safe.
The problem could end up being something else and something small, but you need to treat it seriously until you know for certain. Never assume bad oil pressure is nothing to worry about.
