I was hoping the woosh was natural, but I haven't checked yet. Is that boost drop normal when letting off the gas?(Not shifting)

no fuel = no boost
remove foot off pedal and boost will drop
if it drops too fast and you have a woosh...........you have a boost leak

use a leaf blower on exhaust and some soapy water
buy a fernco coupling at home depot or lowes with a few bushings and adapters to a compressor to pressure up turbo inlet and spray some soapy water around

hard to tell in the video since I am not pressing the pedal and was only a short run

You have a woosh
You think its acting up
Sounds like a boost leak
Only way to really tell is to test to put it to rest

Mad truth. For the inlet, what do you use on the coupling to cap it off?

I use a fernco rubber coupling and add PVC bushings to 1/4 NPT and add in a compressor quick coupling
