Help needed from an angry victim of "Boost Leak"!!!

I am seriously thinking of removing the Idle Stabilizer system... Is it true that by doing so, idling would be eratic ONLY when motor is cold???

There was once while i was trying to troubleshoot for boost leaks, I drove the car with the brake booster plugged directly to the Intake Manifold, & hence the Idle setup, venturi tube and hoses........ were all eliminated.
Things ran fine... no idling problems, no braking problems. WHY?????

So what's the simplest/cleanest setup?

Is it safe to run Brake Booster direct to I/M?

Help! <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />

 

From what I understand, the 88'S' and 89 eliminated the venturi and plumb the brake booster directly to the intake. Yesterday I removed the venturi and all its leaky tubing, capped off the small 'T' that provided vacuum to the venturi. I picked up some 1/2 inch heater hose and plumbed the brakebooster to the intake.
Works fine, brakes feel great and my idle speed dropped, so I know this was a source of leaks.
I no longer have the cycling valve either, so the only thing under my intake is the idle stabilizer.
