loud ticking noise engine bay...Help

hello everyone, two days ago i got my low profile trim for the engine bay from Modshack, the works great, love my turbo sound and diverter valve, the morning after installation i started to notice this clicking noise coming from my engine bay, the noise seem to come on when i am on gears driving, the higher the rpm the higher the noise, when i put it back into neutral it goes down, i know this can be many things, my timing belt, water pump ,ect was done last year, here's a little clip any help or comments are welcome, the car is being drop off at my mechanics tommorow

OLD THREAD, But my 2001 MK1 225 just devoloped the same noise..and exact same symptoms from the noise..it started last week, after my friend drove it and was putting it in higher 6K rpms to help slow the car down (because he's pretty rusty at a stick)..He turned the car off, I told him to turn it back on (to warm down)..then it just started making this ticking noise from then on..I bought the car this summer, and it's been tick-free until last week. DEFINITELY THE SAME SOUND AS THIS VID ABOVE (and gets faster as the throttle is applied). I just want to know why it's louder now, and IF IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE???? any advice???
