Given that i've touched everything to do with the intake, it could be anything. I did NOT replace the intake manifold and throttle body gaskets. I've read that that faulty gaskets can cause symptoms as described above, is that true?

yes, old gasket may not be sealing or it may have slid around when you were trying to bolt it down.
Best way to find out (you might need a buddy to help) keep the car running as best you can but not high rpms, take some carb/throttle body cleaner and spray the gasket area, all vacuum hoses and anything that could let air in, also did you reconnect the idle air bypass hose on the intake?
