Vacuum sound

My brother-in-law has an 03 that has a quite noticable rushing air sound at or near the turbo while at idle, it sounds just like a vacuum leak, figured maybe one of yall could help on this, thanks

Mine has that too, but I attribute that to the AFE Stage 2 air intake. Does your brother-n-law have an aftermarket air intake or stock?

I 2nd what Texasctd says. If it has an aftermarket intake it is probably normal. If not I would check the rubber boots to see if they were tight and had no rub holes in them. Also check the small line for the waste gate. A boost gauge or an egt gauge could help out alot.
