Default cant fix high idle on z6/y8 in an ef with b18a1 tb SEARCHED

ok i have searched many times and gotten a lot of ideas but nothing has fixed my high idle......it idles at 1100-1200 when fully warm and also sometimes acts like it has a vacuum leak, dropping from 1200 to 800 and back up etc......it is a z6 block, with a y8 head, z6 intake manifold, b18a1 tb.......ive checked the idle adjusment screw, the butterfly adjustment screw, eacv has been cleaned, map and tps arent switched....the only ideas i have are.....A) im using a y8 head, z6 intake manifold, and a z6 IM gasket, is that causing a leak? or B) im using a b16 tb gasket and that might make a leak? or any other suggestions....thanks!

its in a ef hatch obd0
