I see the problem. You're completely missing the coupler. Whoever did this install doesn't know how to follow simple directions. Below are some pics I just took from my car.

 Below are some pics I just took from my car. If you get that part installed properly and it still gives you problems, the next most likely suspect would be the UD pulley. Keep an eye on your voltage gauge to see if it fluctuates wildly with turning on the AC.

^ What he said. That "horseshoe coupler" comes from the stock car, and is supposed to still be used when you install the Gen 3 intake. Looks like they tossed it and tried to hook up the hose directly without it, resulting in the kink. I can't imagine it would affect idle that badly, but who knows, things are complicated sometimes

I still have the original intakes, and YES, you're right. The guy did not attach the horse shoe shaped coupler as it is still attached to the original intakes. Also, as you mentioned, I did notice a slight fluctuation with the voltage gauge. Not much but it is noticeable. I see that it fluctuates a smidgen below 12 but it constantly remains just above 14 for the most part. I will play around with the AC and let you know. Is the UD pulley the same as the crankshaft pulley? I have the crankshaft pulley from Stillen installed and I fear it may not be installed properly if the same guy did the install on the intakes. MY FINAL QUESTION. Could the kink in the hose be the cause for the erratic engine idle?
