help please(having trouble dettermining my problem)!!

I have had trouble w/ designating the problem because i am a idiot and i put on emanage, larger injectors, headers, and sealed off the EGR system all at once. Myself and other people i have talked to are pretty sure it is a vaccum leak since i am still having trouble even after taking the emanage and injectors off.

Here are the symptoms: The car cranks and revs on its own to around 3k and then idle dropps to around 1000 where the car stumbles and shakes alot till it dies. I am getting 0 vaccum on my boost guage so that would indicate a vaccum problem. Could it be the intake manifold gasket since i didn't replace it when removing the manifold? Could one hose being undone cause such a huge leak?

Any thoughts are appreciated

0 vacuum is definately your problem. Go over all your work. Every gasket you took apart should have been replaced with a new one. If you didn't do that, I suggest you go to Nissan and get yourself all new gaskets and do the job over correctly.
