I have rattle / buzz from gauge.  One thing I was advised was to keep the vacuum hose to the gauge longer to reduce 'buzz'

cheers guys i as lookign at getting one of those t peices but i didnt connect mine via a t peice connector. I have a new turbo hose with a nipple in it to take the connection from. I was just wondering if there was anything i could put in the line to act as a restrictor.

Not what I did as my gauge came with a inline restrictor..

Just put a few inches of silicone tubin on the end you want to blank off, fold it back on its self and put a cable tie on it to keep it folded  :happy2:
