Boost gauge install on sequential system?
 
Hi. Anyone out there know how to install a boost gauge to each turbo on the stock sequential set-up so that i can get separate readings for each turbo?

Thx

do you have a power fc yet?

You'll have to get the pressure from the Y pipe. And thus you have two options: tee off some existing lines or physically drill and tap into the Y pipe. One has to be on the rear side behind the charge control valve, and one has to be on the front side before the two pipes join. I would drill and tap.

I don't understand why you want two boost gauges. The primary turbo supplies boost below 4500 rpm, then the secondary comes on. They merge together in the y-pipe, mimicking one turbo. It is not like there is a turbo on either side of the engine.

^ agreed. it's one of those things that you would monitor mostly for curiosity's sake, mostly to observe behavior during transition. If there's a problem with the sequential system running two boost gauges isn't going to be that helpful of a diagnostic tool.

Having 2 boost gauge is a waste of money. Even for trouble shooting if you are running sequential. There is no need for it. If you k ow what you boost gauge is suppose to read then you be fine with just one.

The best way for you to diagnose twin system is to plug a boost gauge on your presure chamber and a vaccum gauge on the vacuum chamber.

no power fc yet... Alright i was more curious then anything, i probably won't be doing it, just wondering if it was possible and if it was worth it. Thx guys

Yea, no.

You're just going to end up making things overcomplicated.... and the FD is already complicated as it is for a new owner, even some of the gurus tend to get frustrated sometimes.
