Default engine sound??
Just today as i was boosting my car around my area, I notice that after i turned the engine off it made ticking sounds. Is that normal?? I have never noticed it before.

How long did it tick for? Sounds to me like the exhaust and other metal components cooling down.

Sounds normal, just components cooling down. But if it made a loud ticking noise when your engine is running then i'd start to worry

Might be your boost solenoid. Do you have a aftermarket ecu or piggyback?
