Its the thing that makes that sound like its releasin air or somethin.

Re: k i can't remember

You must be talking about a b.o.v blow off valve or bypass valve. It seems to be the shifting that makes the noise, but its not. A bov releases the pressurized air from the turbo when the throttle is closed and when since you let of the throttle to change gears it seems to be the shifting that makes the noise. I wont go into great detail on how a bov works, so I hope this good enough.

Believe it or not they actually make a device that makes bov sounds for those who want the sound without the turbo.
