i installed a full set of gauages in my '99 5spd 24v and whenever the boost starts getting up over 8psi the gauge starts to rattle. Its loud enough i can hear it over the road noise and the radio. I can pull the gauge from the pod while im driving and can feel it rattling internally.  Is it just transmitting noise from the motor via the boost tubing?  it is a ISSPRO gauge from diesel manor, it appears to be working fine just making some noise. so.....is this normal or is the gauge defective?

i removed one of the intake manifold bolts and installed the boost bolt adapter and its running straight from there to the boost gauge.  as stated above, its a ISSPRO EV 40PSI boost gauge.
