Re: whoosh sounds? PLEASE HELP
Turbo noise? Induction noise? Wastegate noise?
Depends on how loud the noise is!
May just be the "chirrup" you hear or the air being sucked in through the filter (do you have an aftermarket/performance filter) - in which case nothing to worry about.
May be the sound of worn bearings in the turbo - in which case you need to get it looked at ASAP! -
Re: whoosh sounds? PLEASE HELP
If it's a compressed-air sort of whoosh, it might be a crack in the turbo manifold letting turbo pressure out? Been there and bought the T-shirt ... twice

or leaking IC pipes, or hole in the exhaust, or, or, or.
Need more info
Does it affect the performance?
can you tell if the turbo is kicking in?
What sort of rev range does it start? (eg. 2,500-3,000rpm? ish)
In retrospect, I suppose "supercalafragalisticexpialadocious" wasn't a great "safe word..."Comment
