hoses are tight and it holds boost fine as well.

All hoses are tight i checked them and even re fitted all the pipework. i have a forge dump valve fitted. Its going in for a re map soon so maybe they can find out. It would be nice to sort it before just incase it causes problem for mapping

could it be the air passing thru a blocked or closed up vain in the front mount?
almost like a low whistle?
