Did you get an ABS inop light too? I know a local person who had this similar problem.

I posted in the thread that was closest to being spelled correctly. -10 points for making two of the same threads

If you get to running at very low engine vacuum the booster
has nothing to boost with. The SeaFoam process may have
fouled plugs, sensors, whatever. All that manifold spooge had
to end up somewhere and maybe it didn't all scamper merrily
out the tailpipes. Give it some more mid-RPM engine run time
and see if it will "burn itself clean" but if it doesn't seem to
improve pretty quick, move on to inspecting / changing plugs.
