Is my car pinging?
Now I posted on this earlier but noone really responded, but one person did tell me it might be pinging. So what I did was change the spark plugs. Still I get this click once or twice under hard acceleration in first and second gear, not at a stand still rev and not while running it through 4th and 5th. at first I thought it was coming from the bov but still am not too sure only because around the same time I noticed the click I noticed that my stock bov sounded as though it is hissing much than it would before such as hissing while just cruising up a slight incline or hissing while slowing coming off of a light. Also theres more of a whine to the turbos but the car doesnt seem to have lost much power at all. I do not have a boost gauge but I am very quickly seeing the usefulness of one. The Question is: what is going on with my car.

If you are hearing an actual metal hitting metal ping it's probabily something loose in your engine bay.

Does anybody have a link to that video of some guy pinging on the dyno?
I tried searching for it a while back and didn't come up with anything... I hope it didn't get killed during the last forum upgrade.
