The thing with the vacuum leak is it can be caused by quite a few things, but the first thing and most common is those vent hoses. And if it is those it will be apparent when you look at them, they can collapse on themselves and get the consistency of clay.

Sometimes when the TC is going out, especially with the 4.6is it gets a whine under load that sounds kinda like a supercharger whine.
