I didn't feel like making a new thread for this question... But hope it gets some attention.
Please listen to this video and let me know what you think the reason is that it screams... It's been doing this for a while now (I mean 2+ years). I typically don't boost much but it's typically under full boost.
** Fast Forward to 5:48 **
Stuff I thought it might be:
- Perrin Inlet v1 issue
- Uppipe Leak/Gasket Issue
- Hose that goes from IC to Turbo and/or TB..
Anything else?
Thanks

Sounds like a hole in a gasket to me...that wasn't your car was it, but yours is making that noise?

I'd guess uppipe gasket.

I guess I could update this... Nothing really has changed though. Since I posted last in this thread (July 25th) I went to the Tail of the Dragon in September.
Here are a few pictures:

This is when I was washing her after I got back from The Dragon (September)
