Default issues need help

so my blow off valve was pretty much worn out it was a knock off hks and it caused a boost leak. i just recently replaced it and now it runs like a champ but the car wont idle. when i unplug the vac hose it idles just fine. if anyone could help me out that would be great.

idle air mixture might be set too rich, check the fsm, if not that try to adjust the idle speed.

Try and bump up the idle with the screw on the bac valve, i would turn it all the way in first then slowly back it out until it stays running.
