BMW 335i N55 Making Weird Noise At High Boost

Hey guys, I have a 2011 335i that's making weird noises when near full boost. Current mods are BMS Intake, VRSF Intercooler, VRSF Charge pipe, VRSF Catless DP and a Stage2+ Tune with flames. Seems like a boost leak to me as the car isn't as fast as I was expecting as well. Let me know if anyone recognizes the sound and knows what it exactly is, any help is appreciated, thanks.

Here is a video of the sound

Definitely sounds like a boost leak. Check for a coupler/clamp that came off on intercooler or charge piping

I have the same EXACT SOUND. Let me know if you ever find out what it was, I thought there was an exhaust leak but it wasn't. Please let meknow if you ever find out what it is.

It's a Alpine N55 Stage 2+ Flame tune. Just my normal check engine light from the dp's and my adaptive headlight malfunction light

Engine bay!

You will have to investigate but my guess would be the charge system. Inlet or Outlet.

The intercooler piping wasn't tight enough so it was leaking from there
