Yes, I second this. When I bought my car, it didn't have a boost gauge and I kept hearing this rush of air, and sure enough...the coupler was blown. Once I replaced that it was like I'd gained another 50 hp, I couldn't believe the difference in performance!

too anybody that has the wooshing noise when spooling up (and getting no more than 5psi) check your coupler that goes from the top of the Y-Pipe to the elbow piece. i had this same exact problem for about 2 months and i have been reading a lot to find out what the problem might be. but i fixed it today. now the car is hella fast now. 
hope this helps out.

hope this helps out.Also a point of note, my standard dump valve vents air when the car is at stable revs and causes a huge wooshing noise. Only stops venting when the car is under boost! Then of course when you let off the throttle...
Wouldn't be noitceable unless you've got aftermarket intakes though
