Just had a brake booster fitted to my FC. Since it was fitted, engine is running really rough. I'm thinking it could have something to do with the booster vacuum hose connected into the wiper vacuum line. Any ideas?

Sounds like it has a open line somewhere sucking air.

Check the one way valve on the booster.

on top of what Ken said
Disconnect the PCV valve and jam a bolt in the tube see if it sounds better ..
