I have a solution, but you're not gonna like it.  VW CIS cars have an 
accumulator of sifferent sizes 20cc, 40cc etc.  The help damp out 
pressure variations and are good for over 75 psi, probably double that. 
They aren't free, a new one for a VW was about $80 last time I bought 
one.  You might be able to get a cheap early rabbit one for a lot less, 
though.

Good luck,
