It happens. One of my mantras is that for a new system of any kind, it'll either fail right away, or it'll last forever.

Or.... maybe one of the retaining clips popped off.
It did start to make a bit of noise after installing it brand new, but I think I forgot about that period of time since I had the turbo install on my mind. It was somewhat intermittent though, if I remember correctly, and also not near as loud as these days.

I potentially could have messed up installation of one of the retaining clips as well, but if the TOB popped out of one of them, wouldn't the clip just spring off and get lost, or would it still be on the fork? Furthermore, wouldn't I have some serious clutch disengagement issues if one clip is off?
