Thumbs down Autometer ultra-lite boost gauge

after owning the this mechanical gauge for 2+ years, the needle has started to vibrate in boost. i guess these things can't last forever and it was cheap, but it's still a waste of money since you either buy a better one later or have to send it off to get fixed. even if it gets fixed, it'll likely fail in another 2 years. i bought a pressure snubber ($20) which solved the vibrating problem, but made the response much slower. i've gone thru 2 autometer boost gauges now. 1 cobalt (electric) and the ultra-lite comp (mechanical) and they both failed. i'm never buying another autometer product. i upgraded to a defi blue racer boost gauge.
