Um...do you have the stock intake? I get some hiss from my weapon r intake so if you do it may be that my Canadian friend.

Could be an exhaust leak. Very loud psshhh sound is possible depending on size of leak. This is what I'm hearing right now and I know its the exhaust. Have you modified the exhaust or is it still stock? Listen carefully at idle for an interrupted idle tone. Sort of like a pa-pa-pa-pa-pa (Sounds crazy, but I'm serious, LOL)

everything is stock.. can it be that the waste gate always stays open.. can i bypass it by unpluging the selenoid on a 2007 or with stage 2 it's already done? i have a 78 mm pulley

a waste gate is for a turbo car.. the IRL has a boost bypass.. check ALL hoses and vaccume lines.. if it's under warrenty TAKE IT IN...
