Loud ticking noise under hard acceleration

So this afternoon I put My Ba Xr6 turbo 5spd into second gear and gave it a boot till around 3,500rpm and could hear a super load ticking noise coming from the engine bay, replicated the same sound, only in second and as soon as boost starts kicking in. 
thoughts?

Once before I have had that sound and once before you Puff have lead me to that and that’s exactly what it was, it is almost an identical sound to what it was before, before though it would happen when cruising, no load, slight load and surprisingly I haven’t got the car in boost in second for a long time, usually have to nurse the t5 and this evening it was only making the sound in second under heavy load. 
I was just hoping it wasn’t the dreaded valve float (if that makes a sound*?) or even worse the “knock knock” “pistons here”!

I remember being able to get to them all with just a socket wrench and a 3in and 6in and 12in extensions, using different combinations until I had room to swing the wrench... I don't remember any of the exhaust manifold bolts being difficult :idunno:
