Avc-r Making A Ticking Noise On Boost

[jenkies]

hello all about 3 months ago i had a power fc and AVC-R fitted.... diddnt notice till a month or so later because io hardly drive the car that when the avcr is set on either a or b boost it starts to tick once boost pressure gets into the posatives... its a fast tick and is loud enough to hear with the sterio on quietly....

i know its the avcr because when i turn boost a or b to off the doise dissapears....

PLEASE HELP with any ideas on what could be causing this or how i could get rid of this ticking noise..... anyone had the same problem?

many thanks in advance

It's fine. That's a normal noise.

It makes that noise when you're on boost, because the solenoids that were installed in the engine bay are opening and closing to control the boost. To make it quieter, mount the solenoids on some foam, and not directly onto metal.

Solenoid.

EDIT:Beat me to it Andrew.

ahh thanks champs yeh ill mount it on some rubber or something.... gets bloody irritating thats all... simple fix leave avcr boost control to off unless extra boost is needed.

even so you will probably still hear it ticking. I can hear my greddy inside my stagea which is much better soundproofed than a skyline.
