'Dis ... (NOW BOOST PROBLEMS)

[Phil Rose]

I'm surprised that one else has chimed in on this topic. Does this
mean that Claus and I are the only ones who have seen the boost gauge
needle "flutter" while at maximum boost level(s)??? If others have
seen flutter of about +/- 0.5 PSI, has it been traced to a pressure
leak?
