Default VDO buzzing - the ultimate solution

After reading this forum for almost a year I actually have a small tidbit to offer for once. As a victim of the dreaded VDO boost gauge buzz on my 2000tqm I went the fuel filter route only to realize that it was a partial fix, at higher boost the buzzing continued. In my desperate search for a larger volume fuel filter I stumbled on a very simple device.. a 3/16 to a 3/16 vacuum restrictor. This piece is a barbed plastic | (as opposed to a T) and cost me $1.50. It works perfect even after the fuel filter is taken off.

the end

Why not just hook it up to the other vacuum line going to the BPV

That's what AWE uses now. They have a brass one embedded in the T connector to the gauge.
