you sure it is just not your turbo spooling up? I had my exhaust changed for a decat and mine makes similar noise but would not quite say hissing but more amplified turbo spool sound if you know what i mean

Agree that this is a boost leak. Most likely the Y-pipe under the manifold or the thick one that goes to the throttle body. First one is most likely.
It wont make the noise in Neutral as the turbo will produce no boost without load.
