Question Boost Solenoid

My Boost Solenoid keeps making a very fast ticking sound, I got it replaced 3 days ago, it went fine for the weekend but now and then it keeps ticking while im driving, I also seem to realize that when is does tick, my revs lag while changing gears. Does anyone know what may be causing it to do this???

Ticking is normal for a boost solenoid. Depending on how its mounted you can but rubber bushings around it to make it quieter.

I know the boost solenoid is ment to tick, but my one ticks even when my car is idling

My revs dont immediately start dropping in between gears, they like rev even while my clutch is in...
