So I'm just trying to pin point a noise I noticed, it seems to have surfaced after the turbo install. But it's very simple when you turn the key on I hear what sounds like a relay clicking away as the fuel pump primes and etc. it's a click click ck ck ck ck ck ck click noise. It never effects the sled starting or anything but it's there and I'm concerned. I've tried looking on ty but I cannot find anyone or any information about this noise. Any chance any of you guys heard this ?

It's one of the relays clicking. I haven't pinpointed which one yet tho. Mine doesn't click, but my buddy's '15 does..


I wonder why it continues to click. Mine click but just once. It wont last long doing that. Open up fuse box and see which one. Is a pic in Facts identifying relays or just remove it to read underneath it.

Pinpoint which relay it is. Once you find it, swap it out and see if the problem follows the relay or is caused by what the relay runs.

Its normal. What you're hearing is the solenoid on the boost controller clicking when it first gets power. If you look on the muffler side and you will see 3 small blue hoses attached to the solenoid thats whats clicking. Hearing that clicking sound when you first turn the key on is a good thing because you know the system is working and is powered up.

It's when you either fire the sled up, or shut it down, it's clicking.. That would make sense tho. Mines the mtn kit and his is the low elevation kit. I have swapped the relays around and no change. Also, it didn't do it right away. Maybe a couple rides after it was installed..
