Isspro vacuum gauge

I just got one - arrived on my porch yesterday
My current gauge is liquid filled and works quite well, but it is not the kind that mounts through a panel nor does it have a light. So with the Isspro, which does not have liquid filling, is it going to jump around and be hard to read? Does anyone have one and use a gauge snubber?
Thanks!

I've got one. Had it more than a year.
Reads solid, no jumping, works great...

Exclamation Length!

Joe, when mounting I suggest going with copper line over the poly usually supplied. Also very important for smoothing the gage is use at least 2~3 feet of the tubing. This will give you a smooth needle at idle and perform very well.

It did not come with enough tube to reach the engine anyway, so I'll need something. I'll have maybe 8 feet total.

Joe, I think I bought a kit at Amazon. It was for a different brand, but as long as it is designed for compression fittings in 1/8" NPT, if that is what the ISSPro gauge wants, you should be able to source tubing almost anywhere..perhaps even your local auto boutique?!?!?!
