Default Quick boost gauge question....

Should the needle flicker or does this mean i have a leak?

A friend told me the needle should stay still, mine flickers a little bit.

Mine flickers off boost when below the zero. Part of the vacuum. Nothing to worry about.

Yup, flicker in vacuum is normal, flicker in boost would mean either a kink in the boost gauge's piping or a leak as you said...

Hope to have a play with some gauges, what location did you go for? A-Pillar, Centre Console, Dashboard?

Cant decide...
