Funky Boost.

Hey guys, here's a video i took on the way home from LA with the boost going nuts. When you see the needle wobble between 5-10psi thats when im going almost exactly 100mph and my foot is holding the throttle constant. I checked all the vac lines and they seemed ok. Let me know what you think.

Thanks.
