Woowoo!

I'm cross posting this from the Ralliart section, for more visibility and potentially troubleshooting ideas...

Something is NOT right with my BBX Lite... I've dealt with a boost leak before and that sounded like a REALLY loud turbo... Currently, it sounds like the WOOWOO youtube video under the hood of my car... Power is WAY down, which makes me think boost leak, but I disassembled everything between the turbo and throttle body and reassembled it. Nothing looks abnormal between on the hot charge pipes, FMIC, looks pretty normal up to the throttle body. Had the wife brake boost it with my head under the hood, and from the top, it always sounded like it was coming from turbo side of the engine but on the other side of the car. From underneath, it sounded like was coming from underneath.

I made a short video of EvoScan running while brake boosting so you all can see what's going on with the data while it's going WOO WOO...

Anyway, any thoughts or ideas as to what I should look at would be great. I'm in west Tennessee and the nearest Mitsu dealer is an hour away... I'm guessing any tuners that might be able to handle this are going to be in Nashville or Memphis and both of those are 2 - 2.5 hours away. So, you all's thoughts on this will help me figure it out and will be greatly appreciated.
