its the injectors mate - i wouldnt have said it was anything to worry about as they make a tappy noise normally - its when it gets super loud or erratic id worry. have you still got the injector jackets on still? as this makes a big difference to the noise......(obviously lol its what there job is hahahah)

I don't think so.... Thats how injectors sound....
Btw... Have you ever cleaned your injectors?

my injectors are quiet-ish, not sure about jackets, I'm quite sure that my noise is the exhaust manifold blowing a wee bit from cylinder 4 (right hand end). I've got the pitstop manifold, and my exhaust man was beating the shizz out of the middle box to get it off the manifold, I was wincing with pain as I imagined the top of the headers breaking away from the manifold face plate. I hate professionals sometimes.....

i now that 1 of mine is noisier than the others but cant pin point wich 1 haha so might get round to fitting a second hand one and find it that way
