Injectors do make alot of noise but then again I came from a 02 wrx with large injectors that make these things sound like a wisper.

I track the car, so I've changed the fluid many times. It's great as long as the gearbox is warm. I've tried Amsoil, which actually made it seem worse. I've moved to the popular Motul 300, and it's back to at least the same behavior as the OEM fluid (only I trust it much more for track duty). I've just been skipping 2nd gear completely when it's cold out until the car warms up. The fluid has nothing whatsoever to do with any clunking, that's a drivetrain lash issue.
Don't know anything about injector issues. My report above was about the Direct Injection Fuel Pump, which is a known issue. Everyone calls it "crickets", but it doesn't seem to actually have any negative effects...so I ignore it along with the other noises.
