I believe you are talking about the intake manifold gasket?

I've seen them and especially the IACV gaskets (when gone bad) cause high idles and surging idles.

Though I've never seen anything to the redline about that...

Make sure your butterfly isn't jammed.

Why not just take a razor and shave off any remaining parts of the gasket and put a new gasket on?

EDIT:
Oh wait, is that a rubber gasket or a metal one?

or all of them

If the intake gasket has a leak, the idle will surge, just like if you had a vacuum leak. Did you torque everything down within spects and used a new gasket?
