You need to check every single point from your air meter to your injectors, including the turbo inlet / outlet, intercooler and inlet manifold gaskets.

The theory is the aerosol spray is a fuel. If you have an vacuume leak and you spray fuel in it, you will momentarily correct the air fuel ratio and the engine will rev up.

It is not easy to glance at all the possible points where it could leak so you need to be systematic and thorough.
I can't really do that, because if I try to give it gas right after it cranks, it doesn't run at all. It just goes "Broom" and dies.
