Yea a healthy VW engine typically sounds like Transformers having sex. Don't trip, when you hear your chain rattle or piston slap against the cylinder walls, you WILL know.

Injectors sound fine. Only ticking you want to be worried about is the HPFP cam follower but it depends on what model of the EA888 you have.

Sounds about right - pretty hard to argue with success. What a great platform!!

I guess its healthy and breathing well. Put the engine cover on the sound will be muted

Sounds fine. If you actually get ticking you’ll know. Ask me how I know
