Default Brakes cause engine to rev, vacuum leak?

pedal feels a little softer when pressed, but at a normal idle of 750-800, if i press the brakes rapidly 5 or so times, the idle will go up to near 2k RPM. im guessing its a vacuum leak, but not sure where, any ideas anyone? i know the brake booster is good because it worked with my B18C1. motor is currently a B18B1 from a 96 LS, car is a 97 GSR. any weird things with an LS motor in a GSR that would cause brakes to raise revs? if not, what would be leaking, other than brake booster?

thanks for any help ya'll can provide.

ecu increases rpms to compensate for the extra load on the engine.....does it on mine too, just not to 2k. If it idles fine then its probably not a vacuum leak, because if it was a leak it would raise the idle.
