Default Induction air leak?

Hi, My scoob is an 02 WRX Blobeye, pretty much standard with the exception of a pair of Harvey Smith's fantastic ported headers. I recently had the "below zero" fuel smell issue, which my local Subaru dealer kindly rectified for me FOC. Ever since I got the car back, I notice a hissing noise when on boost more than I ever did before. I think the car is performing as well as it did, although I'm not certain as I've been taking it a bit easier of recent due to the road conditions. Do you think it is likely they've not put the car back together properly and there's a leak in the induction somewhere?

Cheers in advance..

I learned it was a known issue on this forum. See this thread for details: https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-g...in-dealer.html There are a couple of others on this topic as well. If you speak with your local dealer, they'll sort it for you without charge.
