It runs a little smoother but it still sounds like it is gasping a little for air when I push the throttle. Is this normal or do I have a vacum leak somewhere? I shot a video of the gasping sound:

When I open the throttle very fast, I do hear that air gasp a moment before the engine revs up, but it is always like this and no check engine light or noticeable power loss/ sluggishness.... It is even more noticeable after I installed a larger 996 TB but I thought it is quite normal with original air box and intake system.
It is interesting if this is definitely abnormal, I may be missing something and a few horse powers???
