Weird Noise

I've only noticed this noise twice since I installed my boost controller. It's a clicking noise that seems to be coming from the passenger side, It's only when my car is boosting, and its only happened twice usually if i shut of the car and turn it back on it wont do it. Any body have anything similar like this? I think it might just be coming from some wires I led through the firewall by the glovebox, bacause thats where the noise is comign from.

i think i'm at a point where i don't really care about the post numbers.

yeh, it might be something under your passenger side seat. just moving around hitting things.

Or it could be the EBC.

Put a piece of rubber gasket material between the solenoid and the mounting surface, it will help minimise the noise.

omg, Sell your car! All hope is lost. Or trade it in. Your car is going to blow-up in T-Minus: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, one.

BOOM.
