Default Hmmm...mine is a non-DBW. That will be an interesting poll..

and I did notice that the vac line between the FPR and intake manifold was a little brittle. I'll probably replace that sometime soon.

I did notice one other difference between our cars besides the DBW/non-DBW that could be causing the buzz. You're sporting some serious boost with that Stage III of yours...hehe =p

Default Thanks. Olympus C-2040 (2.1MP). It kicks but IMO. =)

I got it from dbuys.com for under $400 late last year. What a steal. It may be even cheaper now.

Default thanks but it's actually worse around half boost i.e. 10-11psi :(

it buzzes the most when I'm at half throttle or so...when boost stops climbing and holds, it starts sawin' away....BUUUZZZZ BUUUZZZZ BUUZZZZZZ one guy swore I had a hummingbird trapped in the dash

Default Wow...so that's how it sounds. You may have to change your sig to Buzzed. ;-)

Seriously, I hope everything works out with the new gauge!

Default Doh! Still gotta take a pic...

'Sup soon-to-be-ball-and-chain-boy. ;-) Congrats to you and your possible new Avant?

I'm waiting for the red film bulb cover to change the lighting to red. It sticks out like a sore thumb at night with that white lighting (I have an all-red interior scheme with my 99.5 MY).

Also, I still have a little gap in the A pillar that's bugging me. Once I get the red lighting done, I may fasten the pod to the A-pillar with screws. I'll post the final picks then.

Default Just ordered an Olympus C-3000 3.3MP refurbed for $399, free shipping. Can't wait!

My old 1.3MP D-450 Zoom is getting dated. Unless the lighting is perfect, the picture is grainy.
