Default Boost leak pressure test carried out today - strange noise heard ....

... sounded like fluid bubbling from the lower part of the engine bay. Any ideas?

Default did you unhook the PCV valve and cap the opening?

Either mine or BitJockey's (B5 1.8T on his) bubbled like that. He ended up pushing about a quart of oil through his turbo, smoked like a beeyotch for a while. I forgot whose car bubbled though. Mine didn't do anything afterwards, it was all jiggy.

Default Perfectly normal, I had the same thing happen to me, and the AW crew stated that it was normal. Its

the crank case pressure, passing through the oil passages, into the sump. Its normal thou.
