Tell your intake a very sad story.

Assuming you're using an aftermarket blow-off valve, is the BOV adjusted properly? Any vacuum leaks anywhere else in the intake path?

Strange intake sounds? No.

What other mods on the engine (turbo, exhaust, etc.)? Do you have engine management for the mods? Does it run okay?

Your turbo is laughing because it's happy with the new FMIC. Don't worry about it.
