So basically it will only make this "clicking" noise when I am in boost. Sounds like it's coming from the center of the dash board. Car still runs fine drives normally just really annoying. I am guessing a fuel relay?

Any help would be appreciated! Before I start really digging into it.

Check your hood hinges. They can wear out and make noise while driving. Will sound like its inside the dash.

My old GVR4 used to make a click noice once I went into boost. I used to think it was from behind the dash but it ended up being the ECU. I figured it out because eventually it would click then the car would lose all power. I took the ecu out and swapped it with a friends to test it and it didnt happen so I got mine rebuilt by an old DSM nerd who used to fiddle with Mitsubishi ECU's back in the 80's and 90's. I think my issue was a rare one, but just something to think about.

Hmm. I do have a spare Ecu I could try.

Its a very rapid noise. To me it sounds like a relay clicking in and out. Definitely not hood hinges its coming from inside the car for sure.

Does the clicking noise change with the engines RPMs, or is it always the same?
