Well lads,

Question is this,recently every now and then the car decides suddenly to idle from higher then usual to low on tick over,
it wouldnt run on a consistent idle basically,every time this happens i noticed one thing it does when i switch her off,a clicking noise from this part in the pic,dont have a clue what it is and how it might effect the idle etc,any help appreciated cheers.

its the boost solenoid

dont know if it would make a difference to idle doh
 
The boost solenoid shouldn't be clicking when the engine turned off though. Try to reset ECU?
 
Have you checked the 2 pipes going to it to see if they are split or any pipe disconnected . Also it is it only when you turn it off that it clicks or when you turn the ignition on aswell . It could be just sticking But it's not normal for it to be clicking unless the green connecters are left pluged in under the dash .
The igniter for the spark plugs is just behind the 2 port aswell make sure the connecter is pluged in properly to it
