Air leak?

For a while I have been experiencing a whooshing sound when accelerating (Always after the turbo kicks in) It is not the normal turbo whine, I can hear that in addition to this sound. It kind of sounds like the a/c on full blast, but all air/heat is completely off. Would an air leak sound this loud? It is very noticeable, not just a faint noise.
I have a HKS SSQV installed, but this noise started a while after I installed it. (Though I am considering putting the stock back on anyway)
It kind of feels like there is a power loss as well, but that could just be in my head
Any ideas?

*Edit* - I don't have a boost gauge, so at the moment I can't tell if I am losing boost. I can't check anything on the dashboard (UTEC) because my laptop was stolen :(
