I was just told that an inline fuel filter will get rid of the buzzing...

Anyone know where i can get one that will fit with the VDO nylon tubing kit from SPP? Does pep boys or any local auto parts places have what i need or is this something i'll have to find online?

I found this "no buzz" T-Fitting @ NewSouth Performance...

Thanks for the help in advance!

I got my no buzz t fitting here:

no buzzing ever!

edit: it wont fit the nylon tubing.. that tubing is just to run to the engine bay from your gauge... In the engine bay use some silicon vacuume hose. That will fit perfectly on the t fittings. (note: the nylon hose is just inserted into the silicone hose and secured with zip ties)

Awesome! I just ordered it. The buzzing is pretty annoying but at least it gets drowned out with some loud music.

Funny thing about having a boost gauge is how hypnotic the needle is.

*OoOO... it just hit 21psi... will it go higher?*

... my poor K03...

I picked up a filter from a local hardware store. Any fuel filter for lawnmowers will work.

Most inline fuel filters will knock that off.
