I started my car yesterday and it has developed a rattling sound under low load (it disappears over about 3.5k rpm) and comes back in on decelleration. No idea what I could have done? I recently had the car decatted and remapped. Have heard the injectors can sometimes cause a ticking noise but not sure how to check?! Any ideas on what this could be? Cheers!

The boost control solinoid makes a ticking noise, also if youve just had your cat removed a heat shield on the exhaust system could of been disturbed causing a rattle.

How do I go about checking the boost valve? Not too sure about the heatshields, where am I looking?

I meant solenoid!
