Sorry, I thought you would know what "rhetorical" means. Once again?

Maybe you should take it to a mechanic, any testing or work that is needed is beyond your scope.

The clicking is the fuel system depressurization. Have you checked fuel pressure?

Have you checked for boost leaks?

You say the boost gauge is reading boost, how much?

Negative boost pressure. No codes. So yeah, I agree. I need a professional.

All those readings you posted from your Torque gauge don't show the parameters for it to be under boost. The engine is under a light load and just showing normal engine vacuum.
That Torque gauge is labeled Boost but is a dual boost/vacuum reading.
2000 rpms
32 mph
27% throttle
0.1 G's acceleration.

Don't call it negative boost. That is an inaccurate description.

What's the gauge show at full throttle? Have a passenger video a full throttle pull of those gauges and add fuel pressure and A/F gauge. Like above, looks like you are cruising and should be in vacuum

Fuel pressure readings would be nice.
Not sure but I don't think the Torque App will display fuel pressure. At least, I don't remember seeing a fuel pressure choice when I was setting up what I wanted to monitor.
Maybe the OP has a different version of Torque than I do.

Fuel pressure is an option on my copy of Torque free I installed yesterday.

I have torque lite(free) also, and there is an option for a fuel pressure display, in kPa. But no reading ever showed.

Okay, but you'll have to forgive my cell phone's accelerometer for making you think there's any acceleration happening.
Under throttle, that gauge goes from -10 to around (or just slightly above) zero. I will get someone to record it for me and get back to you. I'm adding air/fuel (measured) dial, and maybe some others.
Done under protest, btw. The thing does NOT like me using the throttle right now...

You are correct. Must have overlooked it before in my Torque Lite.
Hmm. Guess I'll go look at my old phone and see if it has a psi fuel pressure reading for the regular Torque program.
