no not the whooshing sound, unless it is supposed to go "wooooooosssshhh... (high boost) crrrckkkshhhhh... (let off)woooshhh". If it is supposed to sound like that well... ****. So either
a)i'm a dumbass that never realized that before my tune
or
b)something is wrong/loose with/on my car.

thanks ruehl. He went along and heard the noise... i'm assuming it isn't detonation or ping he didn't believe so either, but it didn't sound 'normal'. there is no loss of power... in fact it ran very very strong today (cruised out to the beach). I'll take it in soon enough. Thanks for all the suggestions/info if you have more let me know.

hmm interesting... thanks for the input! My girlfriend heard the noise (after I pointed it out to her <shes oblivious to anything relating to a cars>) Then I proceeded to ask her where it came from, and she said "i felt it/heard it under me" (she was in passenger seat)... right around the turbo area.... makes me wonder.
