actually from 2,000 to 2,800 no noise, 3,000 to 4,000 rpm there is fluttering. And at 4,000 or 4,500 it goes back to the normal whooshpssh i think. it that normal with just aem short ram intake?

No,

Check your lines and make sure everything is tight. Sounds to me like a leak

Sounds like your bov is upside down. Mine made the same sound when I still had my stock turbo, the top of the bov with the nipple should be horizontal not upright. Also, make sure the vac line on the bov, isn't pinched against anything.

Depending on how you fixed it, it might vibrate to a point when you are driving softly to slightly pinch it again. I wouldn't worry about it though man, under 3000 is no worries. Out of curiosity, what kind of dv/bov is this? Also, make sure all bov hardware/clamps are tightened down good. Hope that helps.
