Default Car sounds?

All right, this question will be off the wall but I have to ask. Can you describe what your car sounds like? I recently installed the VTDA and I have a whole new aural experience, though I am not sure it is normal. I now hear a steady intake wheeze/whine(sounds like air flow) on virtually all acceleration but when I let offthe gas to shiftI can only describe the sound as Darth Vader exhaling. Yes, that is exactly it. A deep echoey sigh. Tell me that is normal. I have a forge DV also. I am not bothered by the saounds, I just want to be sure they are normal. Thanks for any insight.

Wow this is probably THE most noob question i've ever read.
But to answer, yes it sounds about right, although i've never read/heard of the DV been described as Darth Vader's Exhale. The wheeze/whine sound you hear is your VTDA sucking in air and when you hear Darth Vader exhaling that should be none other than your diverter valve. I have to say, reading your question was pretty funny.

Yes its just the turbo/intake and dv. You cant hear this stock because the air box cancels out the noise. But dont worry, you can laugh your *** of at moron soon enough, just look at the little drunk's pics and responses!

I refered to the DV meaning Darth Vader in a previous post so I'm probably the only one who thinks that description is funny. If my car was black that would be its nickname.
