yeah its def. a vacum leak. Just rebuilt mine, rough idle and hissing noise..... it was the tube form the brake booster to the lower left side of the intake manifold. CHECK ALL OF YOUR VACUUM lines and/or cap them off on the throttle body. Check timing also 2nd mark from the right 15 degrees

Get some soap and water and spray it over all the hoses and see if u can see anything bubbling up. If you see some bubbles that means air is escaping from area. Replace hose or fix leak. also dont forget to check the intake manifold for leaks.

Did you mess with your IACV at all during the rebuild? And do the boost test like he said. There's no such thing as a small vaccuum leak, even tiny ones will screw you up.

Have you tried pulling codes? First thing you should do when you have a problem.

SR's should hold vaccuum at 20. So you have a major vaccuum leak. Look through all your piping/IC/vaccuum lines. If you can't find something obvious, spray some soapy water around all your lines and watch for air bubbles. That will lead you to your leak.

its a vac leak. if air is getting past your MAF it will throw off your a/f mixture. so your car is trying to compensate.
check anything that uses vacuum - even fuel pressure regulator. check your blow off valve, everything that uses vacuum. hook up your boost gauge and check your vacuum.

You need to be more specific about the hose your talking about. A bunch of vaccuum lines run off the TB, (if not all, can't remember). A pic of it would help greatly.
