Well, what did you install right before it started doing this?

So are you saying it isn't finished yet? Is there a turbo on the manifold?

im just wondering if it might be a certain vacumm line that might be hooked up incorrectly. this problem only occours when the engine speed is increased. otherwise when the car is first started up it is fine.

it's a loose vac line.. zip tie the connections so they are tight.
