Ive recently fitted a boost gauge, it bounces on idle is this normal and if it is can i do anything to stop it. Can hear the needle vibrating its fine when the cars accelerating .

put a restrictor in the gauge pipe line it will stop it bouncing

You could stick an inline fuel filter.. thats what I've always used

I've always found that restrictors cause the needle to move slower and read too low so i just put up with the needle bounce, it never spends alot of time at idle anyway.

Bleurgh, i can't stand the bull ones with the paper round the filter. Swan extra slim ftmfw.
Might start a for sale thread, or stick them on eBay individually for £1 each inc. P&P

It's only the slim ones that have the paper round it, extra slims don't. Those slim bull brand ones are shite, they always crush while you're rolling. Extra slim all the way, baccy goes further too!
