Well, all was almost well with this project. I attached the pressure tank and it is working much better than it did before. However, it has trouble shutting off. It makes screeching/machine gun noises and the pressure gauge needle goes nuts. I have replaced the ASOV and check valve that feeds it. What could be causing this issue?

Where is the noise coming from? The ASOV?

Most of it seems to be coming from the pressure valve as the needle slams back and forth. I would expect the sceetching sounds to be coming from the ASOV, but I haven't pulled the filter out from under the sink to determine what the source is exactly. I'll give it try this afternoon when I have some time.

By pressure valve, I think you mean "pressure gauge," right? Rather than your pressure regulating valve. Let me know what you find...

Yes, gauge, not valve. I increased the pressure on my regulator to about 83 PSI and the issue has, so far, gone away. If the regulator is set lower much lower, the pressure in the feed line starts to fluctuate and I get a machine gun effect and everything starts shaking.
