Clicking boost solenoid
Have just picked my car up from having a forged engine rebuild along with quite a few other bits,
gone from standard hawkeye sti power to being 400hp,
noticed on the way home it has a ticking/rattling noise scared me half to death thought it has broke after 10 miles but after plenty off looking round found it's the new Perrin 3 port that's clicking on low revs or constant of you rest your foot on the throttle.
anyone else had this issue??

I had an apexi boost solenoid in my old car, I could also hear it ticking, turned out to be cable tied to a bit of metal, I removed it and put a bit rubber under it and never heard it again. worth a shot

it shouldn't be ticking at idle as the car has no chance of making boost but depends how it's been mapped in. Normally i'll leave them at 0% duty at 0 throttle so they get some time off when they aren't needed. But as above if its anyway fixed to something solid (strut tower/strut brace/metal bracket etc.) you'll hear it ticking/clicking away all the time. Just space out with a bit of rubber like the standard one is and you'll be grand.

I was in a rush when I was fitting my SWRC 3 port on the day it was being mapped and bolted it straight to the strut tower with no rubber bush... next day when it was cold started, I though my engine was ****ed lol... it was the 3 port, I refitted it with rubber spacers etc and it 80% quieter... on very cold mornings you can still hear a bit of tapping on partial throttle until the engine warms up... noting on idle.
