Defo not normal mate, only time mine 'clicks like bugery' is when the test connectors are joined. Could be a short, tried cleanig it?? Take it all is well with your boost otherwise

yes boost is fine. it only does it for the first 60ish seconds when its very cold outside. not gonna mess with it. was just wondering if there was a reason for it.

Solenoids click when are in operation, the sound can be quietened by mounting it on think rubber washers. My 3 port used to click like a bugger untill I mounted it on rubber washers but you could only hear it with the windows up!
