Yes. Any vacuum leak can increase your idle speed.

Replace the booster. it's going to have to be replaced anyways and could very well be related.

^^^^^ X2. And to tell for sure you can isolate the system from the booster by unhooking the booster hose from the intake port and temporarily seal up the manifold port. then start it and see if it runs correctly without the booster hooked up. But I wouldn't drive it this way.
