A very cheap and easy way to find a boost leak.....use any type of liquid with a hydrocarbon base(brake cleaner, carb cleaner, etc.) and spray it all around the connections of your hoses. You will hear the car rev up a little if you have a boost leak there.
Good call. Will try that.

Has this just started since the N75 replacement? Could it be the air rushing through your boost guage? I know that under WOT my guage gets a little noisy and I can hear the air going through it.

No this has happend since i got chipped back in October or something. The sound is deffinately not coming from the boost gauge. I do get the buzz noise from the gauge which is normal because of the turbulance from the T fitting.

Where is your leak? I checked around yesterday for about 20 mins and couldnt find any cracks in hoses, but i havent tried the spray test yet.
