Okay, need help again diagnosing a problem that just started a few days ago...
On a cold start, I noticed that my 02 1.8MTQ starts making a blowing noise under the hood for about 30 seconds, it almost sounds like a hair dryer. I can actually feel air blowing out under the passenger side lower grill. Like I said, it does this for about 30 seconds and stops and only on cold starts. I looked under the hood while it was doing this and I couldn't tell exactly, but it had to be pretty low in the engine bay on the front passenger side......an ideas from anybody? Also, I haven't noticed any decrease in power/acceleration, so not sure if this could be related to the turbo or not. Of course I don't even know where the turbo is 
.
Thanks,
.Thanks,

Normal as in "it should be doing this" or normal as in "it's going out and needs replaced"?....
Sorry, I'm just being completely **** after spending $2K a month ago on repairs. I've never noticed it do this before, that's why I'm concerned.

if the noise bothers you, you can do like I did and relocate the SAI pump...
