Anybody else's Alta make a very loud hissing sound like a faucet turned on, only louder? Reason I ask is because I believe my intake is making this hissing sound (goes away when I give it a quick burst of throttle or get in the boost) and wanted to see if you all have this as well since I've been searching for a loose vacuum hose for a couple weeks now that I thought was making this sound.

you might check the bypasss hose vetween the bypass valve, (located on the snoot @ the intercooler exit) and connected to the blower intake.

jlm, my bypass valve is disconnected. I totally forgot about it, I'll hook it back up and see if that's the culprit.
