Sans response to revs, thats what mine is doing as well. If you touch the valve while its clicking away, you can actually feel each pulse. Is there a chance that something has been plugged up in one of the lines causing it to not flow correctly thus making it click louder than normal?

Gonna have mine looked at by a tech tomorrow, I'll post up what he suggests might be the issue, if it really is an issue at all.

Talked to my mechanic. He said as long as its not throwing a code/not working at all, live with the sound. Useful huh. Lol. Guess when it peters out, I'll just have to get a new one at that time. Long as the music's on, its not bad, its just a really loud chatter at idle, but not something I can't live with.

well that sucks. Mine just started after I replaced my turbo and its driving me nuts. If anyone has more insight let me know. I dont understand how it would all of a sudden start clicking.
