Default Vibrations in the engine bay, cant figure out

Hey guys,
Ok so i just finished installing my greddy tt kit over the past couple of weekends with my buddy collin (chudsoncoupe) build details to follow shortly. I had some vibrations and after reading through here just messed with a bunch of the pipes making minor adjustments and was able to get rid of the rattling. HOWEVER... i have what sounds like a very little vibration almost like a hissing noise on the passenger side, i checked all my nuts and bolts, all my boost/ vacumn lines, even double checked the spark plugs to make sure they were all in tight. Everything checked out fine, two questions i have: Has anyone had this happen to them or know of the noise i speak of, and then the other question which i dare dread ask, what does a bad turbo sound like or one that is not getting enough oil, are there are suggestions any of you might have? Thanks in advance guys for all of your help and support, without these forums i couldnt have gotten this far.

Do you have a oil catch can on the passanger side pcv? Mine makes a hiss noise. Best way to pinpoint were the sound is coming from is to get a piece of vacuum line,stick one end in ur ear and prob around ur engine bay you'll find it. Just dont poke your eardrum with the line it hurts like hell.
