Default needle unstable!

well monday i put my s1 in and everything was ok until this morning on the way to go to work
i noticed on my 2nd and 3rd gear betwen 5500 to 6200 at 14 or 15 psi my needle was vibrating a little bit
but the car felt the same
do you think i need to give my pcm a few more days to adjust or maybe it's normal or do you have another idea what it could be ???

Remove the (-) battery for 10 min. let the ECU/PCM reset itself. baby the S1 for a few miles (50-100miles) it should operate within limits. I had to do it on my S2. Also, temp has a big factor.

Since you're puttin out more power, make sure all your hose clamps are tight, including the ones on your OCC, if you have one, as well. Does the needle sit on zero when the car is off?
