check your plenum gasket and trace every hose to make sure they are connected correctly

Can you be more specific about the bogging? Is it idling pooring but running fine when driving?

An old trick for checking for vacuum leaks is to spray intake cleaner around the hose fittings while the car is running. You will be able to tell when the car starts to burn it, thus, you found the leak.
