Maybe normal.......(boost solinoid)
While tinkering with the car this evening i have picked up an annoying rattle(god knows where it is coming from), but anyway.
While slightly revving the engine from under the bonnet i could hear the boost solinoid ticking. It is silent on idle but as soon as you touch the throttle at all it starts ticking. Is that normal? I only ask as i have never noticed it before!
Cheers

My old boost solenoid did that from the moment I bought the car, it had been bypassed using a manual boost guage. Turns out it was faulty and I have a new one fitted now that doesn't tick and seems to be working fine

Yeah, it's happier boosting low down now but I've had a problem since I got the car with it stalling a bit at 4-5k rpm. With the new solenoid I'm getting it boosting at about 0.9 bar now, it wouldn't go above 0.4 with the old clicky one
