i was driving along tonight and i got on it in third at about 3000 rpm's and decided it wasnt enough pick-up so i downshifted into second and layed into it then i heard a squelching noise so i let off and gimped her to the closest spot with a street light

i get out and check all of the intercooler lines-intake-blow off lines-
and they all seem to be tight
so i get back in and take off and now if i go over 5psi i hear a loud whistling noise and i gets louder as the boost goes up, so i gimp it to where i am almost home and i get on it to see if there is any perfermance loss and i didnt feel any loss, but the whistle now starts at 3psi, so i at home now and am at a loss for what i could have done

did i just blow off an ic pipe and dont know it??
could there be a hole in the intake??
did i **** up the turbo/wastegate?
or could it be just a minor boost leak somewhere??

i am at a total loss and dont want to hurt her any more if i am at all.
let me know what you guys think
thanks in advance
