Is your boost gauge "leaking" from the back of the dial/gauge face?

Yeah Dude you got boost leak from that hose you used to run to the boost gauge. At WOT what does your boost gauge read at 3500- 4500 RPMS?
My Evo Doesn't Have an Intake or any mods but i have worked on quite a few evos. I Drove my freinds that has the Injen Intake, and he let me give it alittle throttle and once the turbo started to spool it got realy loud, compared to my stock Box. So maybe whayt your hearing is the Turbocharger.

No You can Fix it, so you just have a Cone and adapter as far as filter. A quick way to check the Vaccum hose is to plug the Engine bay side and suck on the boost gauge side, if the vaccum you created with your mouth stays for a while its good and you have to check your conection, and its probaly the sound of your turbo coming from the intake. If it leaks you have to locate the Leak and Repair or replace the Vaccum hose.

That Makes Sense since you only boost little when Reving it, which isn't that Great for the motor but its not gonna kill it or anything. Did you switch the Guages? Also Does your boost gauge work when you drive, does it show around 30 vaccum at idle?

Yeah But it can be normal if it does that every now and then. Where does the Sound come from the Gauge Area Or the Front Driverside.
