Ok I did the stethoscope test to see where the noise was coming from and i narrowed it down to coming from the rear turbo area. Well i have the turbos off now and im inspecting. Any idea where this noise could be coming from?? I was playing with the flapper door on the exhaust mani. and i can move it so it jingles, is this normal?? any ideas will be helpfull!! btw the ticking noise is rpm related it gets faster with the rpms

 

n e one??

 

Sorry I can't really help you out but I am having this same problem. It started after I removed my air pump and changed out my intake elbow. Do you have a Greddy elbow by chance?
