IMO it could be any intake pipe as well, since if the leack or the cut is not so big it might produce and sound like BOV...

well when i got my apexi intakes it came with a very big restrictor pill that you are supposed to put in one of the hoses that goes from the airpump to the intakes. without this pill in it will sound like your car is "mooing". try unplugging the electrical connector to your airpump (dont keep it unplugged or your cat will clog up) and if the sound goes away then the a/p is the problem.

i think my car makes that moooing sound... Is it bad? It doesnt bother me too much. I like the look on th epassengers face when they think it is a cop or something.

My 7 has just started making this noise. It only happens when i hit 5psi. I could make an audio file of it, if anyone thinks that can help. I'll check back here but email me or IM me on aol shawntx76. I'd like to not be so worried about my turbo going out
