perhaps the gauge or vac line is leaking.

You need a buzz free t piece when fitting a boost gauge.. if you already have one check the vac line to the boost gauge

its not a buzzing noise more like a rush of air noise

Did you use PTFE tape on the threads when fitting the vac line to the boost gauge?
