Default IM leak causing idle surge ??

Hey, i just installed the delbrock turbo kit and i'm getting an idle surge from 1000 to 3000 and back to 1000 non stop surging, now is it possible that a intake manifol vacuum leak can cause this surging because i overchecked all my wire connections, my tps sensor, the iacv, the map sensor and everything seem to be fine, i remember sensing some air commin from the intake manifold but i didnt really pay attention to it....could a leak be causing this ??

also air in the coolant if you didn't bleed it out can cause a surge. and also make sure you didn't get any of the sensor plugs mixed

I had similar symptoms when my hose for the PCV had a hole in it.

if you took any water lines off the engine you would need to bleed it out

how exactly do you bleed it if you dont have a bleed screw ??

Is it possible that you have to pinch the top radiator hose to get the bubbles out ??
