Brake Booster going bad
I believe my brake booster is going bad which is causing a woosh sound when i pump the brake pedal and causes a fluctuation of engine rpm as i pump the brake pedal (like its causing a vacuum leak. Here are a few video examples. Also when the engine is running and i pump the brakes my rpm will drop about 200 rpm and then cause the engine to run rough for a second or two and then it goes back up. Let me know what you think.

I have sprayed carb cleaner around all the ends of hoses on it to see if it caused the engine to speed up which it didnt. I have also replaced the vacuum hose which didnt help. The vid has sound for me, you may want to check the volume. I can hear the woosh it makes from inside the cab or under the hood. Sounds like its coming from inside the brake booster.
