Not that I noticed, it actually sounds really good.

just to be clear i mean from the turbo, not the exhaust. Over time those bolts tend to loosen up on the turbo and the gaskets leak air.

Yes, the turbo has a nice quiet roar when it finally decides to kick in.

Were you able to get the boost situation fixed? If not send me a PM I had the same issue and resolved it.

No secret really. All I was going to say is look closely at your intake to the Turbo. Mine has a crack in it, which is causing vaccume problems which was effecting my boosting. I put a rubber compound in the crack to tide me over till I can afford replacing the unit with a hardpipe model.
