Default Boost Gauge buzz
Anyone have that real quit soft buzz that emits from the gauge itself under full boost? I understand it is the needle inside the gauge vibrating. But how do you make it go away? I did everything AWE said and the buzz is still there. WTF!!!!

Default I've spoken w/ Todd about this. He says that it's only the DBW A4s that have it. Even with the fuel
filter in the boost line, I still have a little buzz. I just turn up the music.

Default The buzz is not detrimental though is it?
I can live with it, since the buzz only occurs under high boost. The engine is loud enough then.

Well the point of having a boost gauge is accurate reading at max boost...so then it is...

But the buzz doesn't affect the boost reading. Just an annoyance...not detrimental.

Default thats what I thought.....
The needle itself does not appear to be vibrating at all, it moves very fluid. And the readings appear to be accurate.

Default Electrical guage
If you cant solve it, you could always spend some $$ and buy an electrical boost guage.
