vortech Ticking?

hello everyone..im new here and new to the FI world..i just have a vortech installed a few months ago i notice i be getting a ticking sound when i get close to boost.. i mean when i look at the boost gauge when i get close to 0 it ticks and when i drops back down it ticks again and when it kinda stay in that range it makes a zapping sound.. its very annoying for me i just wanna know if thats normal for all the vortech??

Never heard anyone describe such a thing about the Vortech SC . I would stay out of boost and take it back to the installer and have them check it out .

+1 I never heard of anything like that. The only problem I had when I got my Vortech installed was that the belt kept slipping. After I fixed that, I had no issues at all!
