Codes would help but that kind of problem is usually indicative of either EGR, IAC, or vacuum leak. EGR can be source of vacuum leak as well look carefully.

Is everything connected back correctly? The vacuum lines for the EGR?

i agree with das on this one. double check everything. although i think you car is too new to have cracked vac lines it is somthing to think about, did you have to bend some stuff out of the way, check the lines. if you took it to a shop they may have discon something wanting to get more $$$. that's just my 2 cents someone got a third?
