Do you have some form of snubber or flow restriction on the fuel pressure gauge? For the boost gauge rattle, if you PM me your address I can send you a reduced size orfice which replaces the existing one in the back of the gauge, and eliminates the rattle. All mechanical (bourdon tube) gauges have a tiny set of gears, and they tend to loosen up with age. The extra gear friction on the new gauge may provide enough damping to prevent rattle when it would otherwise occur. The long term solution is to have sufficient damping in the system, usually through an orfice or other restriction.
The older EV series gauges are contract manufactured in India, just like the DiPricols. The newer Performax and EV² series gauges (as well as everything new designed since I have been here) are made right here in the USA.
Regarding the question on the wiring connector on the back of EV² gauges, we have designed an insertion tool which makes the installation extremely easy. You get an installation tool when you buy an EV² pyro, or the Performax ESP. You can also buy it separately as P/N R72023.
