Boost Gauge Buzz/Vibration
I've got a "zing" sound coming from my boost gauge. Could the brass fitting not be tight enough? It almost sounds like a turbo spooling...
Also, whenever I tap my steering wheel, my gauge buzzes and vibrates. I didn't think they were that sensitive... Is this normal?
The only thing I can come up with is that I need to tighten the fitting in the back of the gauge more, but with it being brass and all, I don't want to damage it. Thanks!
Oh, I've got the STRI X-Line gauges.

If the lines are tight, then run down to your local hobby shop and grab one of these...

...it's a RC gas filter. Just make sure there is a bronze element inside it. Plumb this in the boost gauge line.
