Ticking Noise On Boost

Hey folks

Just recently started noticing a ticking sound around 5-6psi that seems to be coming from the engine/turbo. Only happens on boost and used to be intermittent but now i am starting to notice it a lot more (maybe cos now I am listening for it all the time). From suggestions in other threads I have:

Changed plugs - NGK bkr6es w/ 0.8mm gap

Changed fuel filter

Turned down boost

Cleaned AFM

But still happens.

Car is an rb20 w/:

front mount

x-force turbo back

hybrid ebc

everything else is stock

I have heard engine knock before, and I'm pretty sure it's not knocking cos the sound I am getting is not so gnarly. It's more like the wheel of fortune wheel sound as it gets spun. I know it's pretty hard to diagnose a problem without seeing the car, so I'm more looking for recommendations on what it could be and what else I can try to fix it. Already taken it to a few mech's and they don't really seem to know or want to help.

Help.

Thanks.

is it really noticeable or does it sound internal of the motor, if its the latter it could be pinging.

PS you must be taking it to the wrong mechanics!

Not heaps noticeable. Got a panel filter with stock box, so the car is pretty quiet.

If it's pinging, is there anything else I can do to stop it?

Read that some EBC solenoids will make a ticking noise, but would it consistently do it at 6psi?

Might try returning back to stock boost soon and see if it fixes it.

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
