Default hissing noise

hey everyone. i still have my hissing noise under light and heavy acceleration! i'm pretty sure its a vacuum leak but i don't know where to find it. the shop wants to charge $80 to pressurize the system so they can find the leak, does that sound reasonable or insane? i want to get it fixed because its really slowing the car down

i decided to just replace the hoses on the TCV... one of the stock hoses had a good sized hole in it.

also, a hose on the intercooler had fallen off due to a rusty clamp, i put that back on too.

all is well now, it feels like a new car!
