Ned-
I want to second something Keith said in his second post:
"Check all of the grommets on the intake manifold to make sure that they do not leak and that they do not pop out too easily."
I've seen that happen on my car. Sitting still, everything looks fine. But, when you drive and boost into the yellow, all hell breaks loose. Boosting into the yellow means pressure in the intake manifold. In my case, any time the manifold was pressurized, one of the grommets would lift up creating an air leak. I replaced all the grommets and it worked fine.
If you find a loose grommet, a good temporary fix is to hold it down with some wore or a tie wrap or something.
