After fixing three broken lines, and breaking one other (and fixing that one too) in the process, my boost gauge finally works properly. Thanks again to all the Oppos here that helped me diagnose my problem. It does vibrate a little under heavy boost though. Any fix for that besides a better quality gauge?

Try routing the vac source to another... vac source, see if the readings are more consistent.

The readings are fine and consistent, it's the actual gauge that vibrates in the ring it's in. I've heard that this happens with low quality gauges, which mine is.

The gauge vibrates in the mounting ring? If so, try wrapping it a few times with electrical tape.

Stick on foam rubber should fix that if you have enough clearance.

It means you're hitting VTEC (yo')..

It vibrates inside the mount? Yeah like jariten said, jam something in there. You could wrap electrical tape around it

I mean, I'm assuming it does. I've only driven it once for a minute since I just got it working earlier. The needle doesn't fluctuate/vibrate at all (that I can see) so I'm assuming it's either the mount or the internals vibrating against the casing. I tightened the bracket that holds it as much as possible but haven't tested it yet, so we'll see.
