Default Boost Gauge Question

Hey Guys,

Just got done doin my first mod of 2005, a boost gauge! =) Anyways I bought an Omori boost gauge used from a guy on AW, and went over to 42 Draft Designs and bought a tubing kit for it. Used AWE's instructions and me and my friend, more my friend helped installed it. I'm very pleased and happy with the end result, here's a pic:

Anyways after Install I developed a small buzz when I really got into the boost. I'm not sure what's causing it, 42 Draft design's kit came with a T buzz-eliminator thing. Here are a few pics of it:

Anyways, as you can see the T is placed there, but I still get a buzzing from the gauge. Any ideas on why? Thanks again in advance everyone!

Default My 42 draft kit made my VDO gauge buzz...

I bought the ECS t-fitting and it eliminated it...

but then I broke the ECS fitting and replaced it w/ a generic one from pep boys and I only get a little buzzing...
