Default Do DSM 450's tick?

Do the 450's tick abnormally loud. After my turbo install I'm hearing a loud ticking sound when on the gas or under boost. The reason I think it might be the injectors and not the valves is because they never ticked that loud before and when I rev it at a stand still the valves are a little noisier.Just not as loud or the same sounding tick when under load. Any input would be great to narrow it down and if they are noisy are they like that all the time or just under some load.

Exactly you should not be able to hear it inside your car over the engine, but if your outside they are damn loud.

hmm I can't really hear them when the hood is popped. They are the loudest when I'm driving around. I wonder if they are just my valves then.
