Ticking on boost?

I get this Ticking sound only when i hit boost high RPM 2nd -3rd gear. or usually a low gear high load i hear it for a second then it goes away, Defi boost guage isnt steady i checked for leaks and turbo is fine. normal driving is rough but should clear up after i change the plugs.

anyone have any problems after swapping out Coils for LS1's?

any help or feed back would be appreciated.

My boost controller solenoid makes a clicking, taser like sound. Freaked me out a couple of days ago when I first noticed it

idk how the rx8 truly acts as it is a month or so after owning my frist....but on my Turbo TC the Evap system caused a tick in my boost gauge and that is normally....certain gauges would eliminate the tick but with the autometer pro comp....mine ticked....

Might be a similiar problem,...just throwing it out there..
