Default Wtf.. a BOV-like sound without having a BOV.

Well, a full list of my modifications can be found in sig..

I have a (stupid) question. Why the **** does my car sound like it has a BOV ?!

It's especially audible when I'm on cruise, going downhill (say 60 mph on cruise, going downhill, with shift level in 'D'). It makes a noticeable BOV-like sound when it shifts. If my shifter is in '3', using the same scenario, itll make a _very_ noticeable BOV-like sound as it shifts. I don't know. I don't get it.

Do any of you?

Did you still have your stock air pump? Mine used to do the same thing, always making funny whoosing noises and stuff. Usually would happen when coming to a stop or shuting the car off too.
