Check engine soon codes! need help,installed berk intake days later light turns on

ok so the story is i recently installed my berk intake maybe a week later my "check engine light soon" came on and i figured it was MAF sensor but i went to autozone and this is what showed

BBidle speed control system RPM higher than expected probable cause
BB1- Large vacuum leak
BB2-Engine mechanical condition
BB2- Electrical throttle control actuator fault

i just wanted to know if anyone has experienced similar problems after installing their intake and any help and info on these codes, i will be taking to to the star Nissan by my house but before i do i want to know some more info on these codes and some advice thank guys hoping it is nothing serious and as we speak im doing research on it as well

Still sounds like maf to me. They seem to be notorious for dying after intake install.

And go to Advance for a scan. Autozone tells you jack ****. Advance will give you the actual code, which is helpful. Tell autocrap to suck it.

Other than the codes, how does your car run? Any different?

did you touch the throttle body plate?

do you have the hose connected to the midpipe?

do you have all your couplers on tight with hose clamps?

Yeah, sometimes they slip off even when you think they're tight.
It never gave me a CEL, though. I just lost a lot of perf, so I checked it.
