RE: Motor ticking
a test pipe is a mod and more noise will be heard so it might just be that ( tapping/pinking is hard to describe ) pinking only happens when the engine is under load so the problem could be fuel/air mix because the cat isn't there which is normal but better to use higher octane and see if it goes away and fit a K&N filter to equal it out

RE: Motor ticking
Im pretty sure its not the turbo since the turbo is brand new, the CEL just came on so I will get the code ran, my guess is its the 02 sensor since i just got a test pipe on.

Im runing an ATP test pipe on stock exhaust the sound you are hering is most likely an exhaust leak. Ijust went through the same thingI replacedtheexhaust clamps between the DP and mid pipe and mid pipe and resonater, there is no longer the ticking exhaust leak noise.
