You have something wrong. You only have the feed hose, the block and the booster. If you're hearing the hiss inside the car, you should really hear it under the hood. Lightly spray carb cleaner where you think it is with engine running, engine idle should change.

It's gotta be the booster than. Does the idle change when you're on the brakes? Maybe the ECM is taking up the change. Look if your oxygen sensor readings go wacko when you hit the brakes.
