If I remember correctly, the kit wont actually stop the clicking. It'll only make it less noticeable and muffle it by fastening the "TRD" vsv bracket to the engine compartment with a couple rubber insulators. The rubber keeps the clicking from transferring to the metal compartment paneling, thus making it quieter.I think the kit cost more than $30 US and IMO isn't worth the money. You can easily make your own with a $0.85 "L" bracket and a couple $0.30 rubber insulators. Or you can always zip tie the vsv to a free hanging hose or wire harness. Either method will quiet it down as much as the TRD kit.

Or zip it into a baggie and fill it with spray foam...
