DIY Intake installed but ?

I installed a DIY Intake on my truck about a week ago. When the truck shifts from 3rd to 4th and from 4th to OD the intake makes a psssshhh sound. I actually love the sound. Its kinda cool, sounds like a big rig! Is this sound to be expected with the DIY Intake install, or is this a sign that something is wrong? Truck had stock air intake before DIY install. Any feedback would be appreciated.

The "woosh" sound is normal, when shifting, letting off the throttle when there is boost... etc

Yeah that is normal. Just now you can hear it. That was always there but now with an open air filter you can hear the wastegate dumping the extra boost at shifts and when you let off the accelerator.
