Default boost question

I put a mechanical gauge on today and when my boost gets to 30+ the needle starts to vibrate. Is that a leak somewhere or something to do with the boost tube?

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

Also forgot to mention its an autometer and reads about 2-3 lbs higher then edge programmer.

make sure all your tube fittings are snug...but if the gauge is vibrating, might just be a defective gauge...

both of my isspro boost gauges work without any needle vibration or noise. nice and smooth sweeps. both mechanical as well... one is a 60psi reading from my charge pipe between the primary and secondary, and the other is a 100psi gauge reading from the intake valley in the head.

autometer typically makes good gauges, but like all mass production of products, defects can slip through sometimes. That is what warranty is for
