is it always there or only when on boost?

definately sounds like a leak, check around where the TIP meets the Turbo (if its an aftermarket one)
when you push down on the piping that comes near the TIP when fitting the intercooler piping it can push the TIP away from the turbo side leaving a small gap.... seen it a few times now
