The clicking sound you are hearing are the fuel injectors opening and closing and there is literally nothing you can do about it unless you swap the engine for a port injection motor.

If your hood insulation is gone or the engine cover is gone you can replace those but that's about it.

Jim pimps it every chance he gets, so I'm assuming it's worthwhile
At this point they should be paying him for the advertising

They should and don't think that I didn't ask them about it? Their products were real prominent in the Veloster Turbo forum when I had that car.

how much does that actually help?
Thanks guys didn’t think anyone would respond. I’m a little paranoid so made another video from inside the car which kind of isolates the sound I am worried about, do you guys think this is normal as well:
