well, hard to tell beause every engine will tap at some point in they're life, if its not much hastle try making us a video and put it on youtube then give us a link and we could say what we think? but tbf they do tap a little but should be alright, if anything put slightly thicker oil in it. what miles is on the engine as high mileage engines will tap as they will be more worn that lower mileage engines.
TURBO LAG IS JUST FOREPLAY ;)
