yea pull that code. No code reader needed for your car.
Look on VFAQ, all you need is a test light, or speaker, or cheap analogue(with needle) voltmeter.
you ground a pin, and put your test device across two other pins and turn on the key. Then you count the flashes/beeps or needle sweeps.
Simple.
Do that check first, but I would quickly make sure your valve timing is on. Poor idle vacuum is often a skipped timing belt, and if it is, you are living on borrowed time...
It could also be a loose hose from the MAF to the turbo or from the turbo to the intake manifold. This will allow uncounted air and it won't run well and have low(high?) vacuum.
