If this test does make the RPMs drop, then it is not the brake booster and instead you may have a sensor issue or other vacuum leak.

This test may help:

Thanks so much! I'm pretty sure I do have a separate vacuum line issue, I need to replace all of the vacuum lines on mine but haven't been able to find a good diagram for the N55. The only vacuum lines I've noticed on the car (I'm a noob) from working on it were the two that run off of the boost solenoid, but I'm fairly sure there are others?
