Default Hissing?

So i went out racing last night,long story short after the 5 race i was gonna go home,on the last race when i slammed it into 4th gear i noticed the turbo got really loud!!Didn't really think much of it so i drove home(car is running fine)parked it in the garage.So this morning still running like usual when i started to get into boost i noticed the turbo is still loud,So i popped the hood but there isn't anything noticeably disconnected.Im gonna get it up on a rack tonight just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions on where i should start the hunt?Thanks for any input.

Doesn't sound EXACTLY the same, but I blew off an air temp intake sensor while drag racing.......it's just in front of your PCM, looks like a plug....my dealer replaced it at N/C but I had to rent a car for two days since they recommended I not drive the SRT-4 without it.

Anytime your car is hissing, the first thing you should do is to make sure that you didn't trade your car in for a Cobra.

I'm juuuuuuuust kidding. Update us. What did you find out after putting your car on the rack?

Check the ATS, also check the hose clamps on your intake, sometimes when those blow loose they can hiss really loud.

UPDATE:Got it on the rack still couldn't tell so i just started tearing things apart.To make a long story short the pink vac line to the stock surge valve blew off!!!!I couldn't even see it till i took the battery out and the intake off and voila there it is wedged in with everything,That thing must of had some force behind it,well yesterday it popped off again but luckily my intercooler should be here any time today so im gonna be installing my Hardpipes and Block-off plate today as well so i dont think we are gonna have this prob anymore...thanks
