Boost Gauge noise
I've just installed an Autometer boost gauge in my FD. Should I be hearing a rush of air coming from the gauge? I seems to be reading accurately but I can hear a whooshing sound when boost hits. Any input welcomed.
Thanks,
Victor

Long story short, no you shouldn't be hearing a rush of air.
Hmmm, so it's reading properly, but leaking air? Are you sure the air isn't coming from somewhere else? If it was leaking air it would act as though you had a boost leak, because you would. Where did you run the boost line into the cabin? Could that possibly not be sealed well?

Did you use silicone tape on the threads for it? I made sure there was absolutely no leak in mine by using the compresor and taking it to 25psi. (Max is 35) It help fine, so after that it went for the install =P.
