Boost Gauge Needle Flutter Fix

[Snoop]

Auto meter Ultra lite my boost needle flutters whenever over 10 psi. I heard there is a buffer I can install inline. Anyone have any other quick and easy fixes or info on the buffer?

Some seem to have flutter and some dont, I dont. But you can use 1/4 OD line instead of the 1/8 OD line. That will get rid of the flutter, but you will need new fittings for the source and the back of the gauge.

Ok that's easy. Nylon still ok?

yes, i usually use DOT airline because I have a huge roll of it from doing airride installs. LOL, but nylon works just fine.

Mine use to flutter when tapped into the MAP sensor, moved it to the intake elbow and clutter is gone.

My old 7.3 fluttered. All I did was put a few loops in the hose and it fixed it.

my boost gauge only flutters when i bend a pushrod. its 1/8" line tapped into the map line.

Installed 1/4" Nylon line, still tapped into the MAP sensor, and no more fluttering. Thanks.

Am I a chump for tapping off the MAP line instead of the intake elbow or manifold, or is it ok?
