boost gauge hesitiation
alrite let me start by saying i got the awe steering column boost gauge and it has been installed for about a month now.and has been working excellent ...today i just noticed that when it is down in the vaccum, the needle hesitates and goes up like it almost clicks every number??? but when it gets to the lbs of boost then it doesnt do it anymore....can you please fill me in with what you may think that it is.....i was thinking maybe sticky DV's???? let me know what you guys think.....

Where is the line tapped from? Doubt it's the DV's as they don't work in vacuum.
My thought is a small line leak, or even a kink in the hose. Maybe the T fitting is broken, or doesn't have the little bras fitting in the line to the gauge.

well i never thought of the kinked hose .....but i know for a fact that the brass fitting is in the Tand that it is on the line going to the gauge......and it is tapped off of the only 3mm cloth hose ( if your looking at the motor it will be to the upper right almost in the back of the motor )....i went as close as i could to the manifold as i could go....and tightly ziptied everything !!!! but im definitely gonna check that kinked hose thing out ...

mine gauge from awe did the same thing after about 8 months. never figured it out though... i guess I never really got ambitious enough to do anything about it

i had the expensive center vent gauge too, wasn't real happy with it, had problems with moisture getting inside it, and then after 8 months or so it started to stick, not sure if it was moisture related could of been
