Since the electricity stays on and the engine cranks over, the problem may be fuel delivery related. Try to listen for the whining noise made by the fuel pump (under the trunk, passenger side).
The "small valve" you described is the APC control unit, which regulates the boost to accommodate the grade of fuel in the tank. The car will run on any grade fuel, 87 through 93 octane. I have no idea if it should make a click, click, click noise. In theory, probably not; because it is activited by excessive boost pressue, which in turn is caused by a heavy foot.
I would check if the waste gate (mounted on the turbo charge) is stuck.
