Breathing sound with associated idle drop

I recently had my turbo replaced by MINI and now I have a noticeable idle drop that has an associated vacuum leak/breathing sound on the valve cover. There is no other effect aside from idle fluctuation. Is anyone familiar with this or is this just a run of the mill vacuum leak that I need to find? Thank you in advance for any information.

I never knew of the existence of such a device, it will be interesting to see where it's located. Now that I think of it sometimes I have my idle jump around a bit, perhaps this might be why...
