Everytime you're on the throttle, it will sound like a bzzzzt coming from underneath the car... like air leaking, heh.

Mine sounded like I did not have an exhaust system on the car, it was a little quiet at first, but it got louder and louder until it sounded like a fartcan.

Aside from the obvious noise it will make, you should be able to smell exhaust in the car when it is stopped with the engine running.

It depends, if you have an aftermarket exhaust, check out from cats back. Re-tighten everything. If it was stock, I would just send it to the dealer and let him take care of it since the car may still be under waranty.

the wastegate to manifold seem to be concensus with most that have installed the Greddy TT. You can check there. Also when you installed the Greddy TT did you have the paper gasket or the carbon metal like one?

Also to listen for it, you should have someone stand behind the car and cover both exhaust tips and have someone else under the car listening to see if it gets louder....
