What's that ticking sound?? Normal or not?
 

Hi

Since I installed the Agency Power GT35R turbo kit, I'm hearing this ticking sound.

The fast ticking sound can be heard continuously only when in boost around 5500RPM till redline. We checked for the possibility of exhaust leaks everywhere but all bolts are tight. Also checked the exhaust shields and ensured that they were not coming into contact with anything.

What could this possibly be??

I called agency power and they could not confirm if this is normal or not.

Can anyone suggest, advise me on what this could be?

Appreciate it...

You have gotten a tune since you installed the turbo right?

have you ruled out the possibility of knock?

Can you describe it any more like where it is coming from?

A ticking sound is pretty generic. There it quite a bit of tick from the factory so maybe you are just noticing that more now.

yes I got a tune.

the ticking sounds sounds as if it is coming from the headers area.

I do not have a turbo kit however I do hear a very loud ticking at idle. When I accelerate I can HEAR my alternator whirring loudly from inside my cabin. Do you have that as well?

Probably noise from the larger fuel injectors?

i get the same noise with the stock injectors.

It might be your Apexi AVC-R solenoid controlling the boost, the Greddy Profec B solenoid makes ticking sounds as well.
