edmonton,
well when I put some load and boost my 91 tsi... it makes this slight hissing sound that I can hear when I turn off everything in my car while flooring it (eg: heater fan, cd player, etc)..
I've read somewhere that this could be the turbo spooling, there could be a boost leak, or my turbo is dying??

it's not a big big noticeable sound but its just a slight hiss that comes on(that I hear from the inside of the car while driving) when I totally put a lot of load on the throttle
