what oil are you using??

hope its vaux stuff....

ive tried diff oil and found that some oils will tap constantly..
vaux seems to be the best bet..

also maybe get an oil pressure gauge then you know whats goin on in there...

If it isnt lifters, i would get an oil pressure guage on there ASAP, cos if ya gettin low oil pressure and lack of oil to the head the turbo bearings might suffer and it might become a HUGE problem, this is worst case scenario though

with turbos iv all ways found it best to run a oil pressure gauge and boost gauge as oil pressure is so critical mate, and at a glance you know what pressure you have, these lifters are poor when they get old tho mate
