Hey buddy,
Good news! I fixed my ticking noise. It was the flex joints on the exhaust manifold. Today, I decided to change my oil and observe the exhaust manifold area and thought I should try wrapping up those two flex joints. I wrapped them up with some DEI exhaust/header wrap between the two welded area of the flex joints and wire tied them. I'm so happy to fix this!! Been two months and brought to shops that would charge ridiculous to remove and try to fix the problem. Most of them think it's the turbo or mechanical related smh.
This is surely a defect. I have the turbo kit installed for two months. Ever since I started the car up from day one of the install, the ticking was present.
I'm not sure if any SBD owners has the same issue or have posted in the SBD forums.
