Default Idle Problems

Hi, I recently installed a procharger into my 2007 GT and afterwords I've had an issue with the car stalling when first started. I have also had the car stall when coming to stop. After driving it for a while it seems as if the car learns and will stop stalling but the rpm's will still drop very low after the RPM's are dropped quickly (like after first starting the car or coming to a stop) and then kick back up as if the car is trying to save it, sometimes making the car lurch forward.
I have done some research and heard many theories as to why this may be happening.

1. A vacuum leak
2. Air bubbles in the coolant
3. bad/dirty MAF or incorrectly seated.

All of the above were messed with when I installed the supercharger and could be the issue. I was just looking for any opinions on the matter before I go and check them out.
