For those of you who have VDO boost gauges.. I know it's notorious for making a buzzing sound, and mine was doing that... which is why I got the special T-fitting from PureMS. Installed, and it still buzzes... anything else I can do?

 

I've heard of this before, but: had VDO in my Volvo 850T5, S70T5 and in my A4 - never any buzzing issues with a basic $0.99 fitting from autozone...

 

Sorry to say this but the easiest fix I know of is to get rid of it and get an Autometer gauge.

 

autometer is notorious for not zeroing out....i.e. mine. after you turn the car off, somtimes it'll read 1 psi of boost....thus giving a inaccurate reading next time.


im looking for a new gauge.

 

i like the VDO.. just that buzz is so damn annoying! Interesting you say that SlowB5. When I turned my car off when I got to work, it didn't read at 0, but it was a bit lower, like a -1. Does that matter? Anyway, back to the buzz. Maybe I missed something.. there's nothing special you have to do with the T-Fitting right? does it make a difference if you clamp the hoses? Right now i have no clamps on the 3 hoses where the T is.

 

get the no buzz T fitting from www.ecstuning.com


it came with my kit and i have absolutely no buzz

 

get a defi gauge mine works great, no buzzing and very accurate when the car shuts off it always goes back to 0

 

A4 the Quattro: Is the T-fitting from ECS different than the one from PureMS?

Jeff: Where did you get your defi gauge, or whats a good website to get a good deal on one?

 

yes, the no buzz fitting worked for me as well.

 

im not sure about the one from PureMS .. but everyone has had success with the one from ecstuning.com ... its only a couple bucks if it didnt come with your kit..
