missing/defective vanes may cause the car to have a bad a/f...but it should not cause any kind of jerky idle.
i think this is just a coincidence of somthing wrong with the throttle body.

On the contrary, several users on this site (including myself) have had problem with aftermarket intakes causing this idle behavior...a search for intake problems on this site will confirm that. X, correct me if I'm wrong, but this is one of the major problems that prompted you to create your own intake. Yes, missing/defective vanes cause a bad a/f...and that causes the poor idle.
Even if Qshooter's problem was unique, you're saying that a completely different problem with the tb occurred within inches of modification of the MAP sensor and there is no connection between the two? And a return to the stock intake corrected the problem? I really doubt it.
