I agree
Ditch those and get some isspros or DiProcols. I had autometers in my gas truck and put isspros in my Cummins last night and the difference is night and day and I hear DiProcols are even better.

All you need is a snubber. Some guages do it, some don't. I put one on mine and fixed it right up. DieselManor - Accessories It's the one called a Pressure Gauge Stabilizer.
You can do what you want, but my Autometers have served me well for 2 years now.

Oh man, now ur makin me have to think :lol3:
I think I just took my line loose from the boost bolt, screwed the snubber into the boost bolt and then installed the line into the snubber. I would have to look to make sure, but I think that's how it goes.
I'll go out and look after bit to make sure. Let us know if that fixes the problem :thumbsup.

I guess I was just trying to simplify it,
1)Take your comp. fitting adapter out of the boost bolt.
2)Screw the snubber into the boost bolt.
3)Screw comp. fitting adapter into snubber.
4)Install line back into comp. fitting adapter.
Give me a minute

Keep me posted... Mine does it between 20 - 60 psi... so if it calms it down I will order one!!!:beer
ok its installed ,it took a little time had to order new boost bolt.it has been about 95% afective, ,it took out all the violent vibr. and it only shimers at 32 to 45 under full throttle conditions it will some what equalize once its holding a high psi for a bit. im very satisfied ,at least i can read it ,if you deside to go this route let me know of the outcome?
thanks , its installed,and im pleased, i would like to know can the snubber be adjusted on the inlet side to calm the slite bit of vibration that is left? once again thanks:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup
