boost gauge vibration

I originally had my boost gauge tapped direct into the stock intake pipe with no vibration. I recently installed the aftermarket elbow with the tap already welded to it. My boost gauge now vibrates under load between 20 and 32 PSI. What is the cause of this ? More flow ? How do I fix the vibration ?

I have the same problem, but I have the stock intake. When I first put it in, there was no vibration. Now about 3 months later, it vibrates. I'm curious to see why. Thanks.

The only time I have flutter it's from turbo surge, but it's very noticable by the way the truck shakes. happens between 18-25 psi boost but I have a tweaked turbo also.
