Not pushing it due to still waiting for re-map so finding it hard to pin-point as its only happens on full boost and not a good idea to let it boost without remap.

Get a spray bottle and mix some washing up liquid with water and with engine running spray a section and then get someone to rev it. Any bubbles will show where the leak is.
What dump valve are you using? If a open to atmos might need adjusting as boost is opening it slightly.

When my old evo had a boost leak it ran like ****. But this isn't effecting the car really, i'll try the washing up liquid thing tomorrow. Cheers

Some induction kits do just make some crazy noises so maybe just the hks sucking in so much air?
Mines doing something similar at the moment but not as loud as yours by the sounds of it, I'm pretty sure mines a leaky up-pipe as I have a panel filter
