Sometimes I can hear a small air leak when under boost.   I  think it is 
coming from the crankcase breather to intake manifold connection  or the 
check-valve.

In the Bentley diagram (link below) this is the area of items 5, 6 and  7.
4 - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister purge regulator valve -N80-  
5 - To connection on intake manifold, lower Throttle Body (TB) flange  
6 - Check-valve 
7 - To crankcase housing breather  



#5... the rubber "T" is usually the culprit.  I've replaced my own,  and a 
couple on other folks cars.  And no... it isn't too fun to get at...  and the 
part is typically not easy to find.
HTH,
