Get the 3.0d on boost and lift suddenly. If it hoots its just the blowoff valve operating. On the SAAB's they have an uprated version of it that didnt hoot. The uprated version was a bosch motorsport version.

Won't be the blow off valve because the engine is under power. I know the sound your talking about, this is different and not as cool.
