You probably have a fault with the charge air sensor or its wiring !!!
Unplug the sensor and I bet it stops
This would result in a boost drop !

The amal on my car starts clicking like mad at just below 3000rpm at any engine load, its only the fact that its mounted on the bulkhead right behind my head i can hear it!!!!
Is it something to do with when the ecu starts to control the boost? (A1 rallysport chip)

As said duff mapping can do it, or other faults.
It should not click like this especially when just idling.
