Weird issue?

I recently replaced my FICM, #8 injector and updated to the newest flash on my 05. After that I noticed that the truck's exhaust sounded differentley at times at idle. I have a 4in straight pipe and I can notice any sudden changes with it. I don't know if it's part of the new flash or what, but what it's doing is loosing it's 1psi of boost at idle. Enough to make a significant noise difference on the truck. Is there anything to worry about or to look for? Thank you.

That would be your new flash, cycling the turbo, supposed to prevent sticking.
