So after I installed my VDO APR boost gauge everything worked great except that buzzing sound the VDO gauges sometimes have. As suggested from some forum members I went to ECS Tuning to get the no buzz T joint to resolve the issue. Well it worked flawlessly and here are pictures of the two joins, old and nobuzz.

Here is the No Buzz one from ECS Tuning:


Here is the one given with my APR boost gauge:


Now the only big difference is that the no buzz one has a clear plastic filling on the outlet going to the boost gauge, there is a little larger than a pinhole made in the filling to let air through. So basically the end going to the boost gauge only has a very small opening while the other two are typical size.

I bet it wouldn’t be too hard to edit your current one by filling up one end with some sort of hard substance and drilling with a very tiny drill bit a hole, or maybe putting a toothpick or something you can pull out after the substance hardens.

Anyone have any ideas on what a good substance to fill this that would handle the PSI? Preferably a substance that is easy to work with and everyone has access to.

 

kinda off topic here...but do you think you can possibly measure the sizes of the "arms" of the T...i need to get one but dont know what size is right..

thanks

Here is a pictuer of it up against a ruler:

 

sorry i wasnt clear...the diameter if possible of the ends...thanks


and in trying to answer ur question i think it'd be safer to get an inline no buzz restictor than filling the holes..i know newsouthperformance has them
