R32 Gtr - Ticking Noise On Full Boost

[smithy85]

Hi all,

Car is a R32 GTR still running standard turbos and actuators, and I am getting a really fast ticking noise coming from (what sounds like) the left hand side of the dash - only on full boost though, when the actuators are open. The noise is a plastic type of noise rather than a metallic sound (if that makes sense).

As far as I can remember, this has only been happening since the Greddy profec B spec II has been installed. It happens on both the high and low boost settings of 12 psi and 14.5 psi, and boost stays constant at its peak, ie: not fluctuating. PowerFC shows normal knock/timing readouts on the hand controller. Car has been tuned with this EBC, with none of the settings changed since.

My question: Is this simply just the noise the boost controller makes as it controls boost pressure, or could it be another issue that I should be looking at?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers

This also freaked me out when I first installed my profec b. Ended up putting some rubber under the solenoid and it's much better now
