Default Here is a tip to everyone who has a buzzing boost gauge

This information was supplied to me from a gauge manufacturer which I'll forward on to you. Cheaper than buying new fitting!

Resistor = Restrictor to limit the amount of air that is getting to the gauge

********************

Resistor for a Noisy Gauge

(Make your own Resistor)

Take a short piece of solid core 22 gauge copper wire. Strip insulation away insert the wire into the nylon tubing about two inches from the gauge end of the nylon tube, with the wire inside, heat the tubing with a heat gun until the tubing collapse, remove the heat. When the tubing cools, pull the wire out of the tubing, re-attach the tubing to the gauge. You have just made yourself a resistor.

The copper in the T fitting does exactly the same thing as the tip I posted above.
