Whining after engine startup / Cobb stg. 2 Cali, Anyone?

Well i had my car flashed to the regular cobb stg. 2 for a couple of months and yesterday i decided to flash my base to cali stg. 2. Today I noticed after starting my car theres a loud whining noise coming from the rear of the car it seems. Part of my mind is telling me its normal but i just wanted to make sure. The sound goes away for about 10 seconds and can't be heard anymore. Anyone else experience this?

I think i'm just paranoid and never noticed the sound before i flashed it to cali stg. 2

I stay silent and keep my AP problems to myself...lol. On the real though, I have no probs with my AP stg2 cali map. And I just changed my base from regular stg2 to cali stg2 a couple weeks ago

AP = no love on BAIC *tears*

I would suggest you get on the Cobb forum and ask Trey to help you out or at the very least see if anyone else there has had the same problem. I'm not being negative to you either I used to run Cobb stage 2 so I speak as a fellow/former Cobb owner.

thanks for the idea, i never thought of that honestly lol. I don't understand the abuse comment up top, is the AP getting a bad rep or something?

i think i've pinpointed the sound to be from the fuel pump as its priming. Is it normal for the pump to prime after the car starts for 10 secs?
