Default Hearing a blow off valve sound when letting off throttle, replaced BPV's but still makes the sound!

I had 710N's for a while and I started to hear a blow off sound when letting off the throttle coming from the passenger side of the car (I can distinctly tell it's the passenger side area). So I put the stock 710As back on which are NOT broken but the BOV sound still occurs.

It feels like the car is not pulling as hard as usual, but it could just be in my head. What can cause a BOV sound besides bad BPVs?

Also, I don't know if i'm making full boost, I will have to hook up a gauge. Would a leak cause it?
