ANY Low-toned whooosh has, IME, been associated with a major air leak in one
of the Intake hoses.  In my 200q20v it was not the Michelin-man hose
(upper), but rather the lower hose from the turbo > intercooler.  Happened
to figure it out on a warm day wearing sandals, revving the motor, standing
at the rt front corner of the car and noticing an unusual breeze by my feet
(easier to figure it wasn't right since no viscous fan like on the UrS4 --
you guys have viscous fans like my v8 did, right?).
