I've got a Blitz Dual Turbo Timer and I recently ordered a Greddy 52mm boost guage. The automatic function of the Turbo Timer runs off of the boost readings (how long you have been boosting, how much) as well as displaying the boost levels. I'm not worried too much about the display as much as I am about the abilty to use the auto timer.

If I split the vaccuum line using a T connector, will I still get accurate boost readings on both devices? or am I attacking this all wrong?

Thanks

man, i would think it would mess it up. . . but i dont know. just use a different source. wait, you live in CA. i was gonna say use another one of the nipples left open when you do a block-off plate job, but i guess you cant. i dont know, man.

Shouldn't make any difference....it's a gauge and unless it's defective (leaks) then it's only as good as the gauge manufacturer the gauges only read the source they don't change it.

I don't know as much about pressure as I wish I did. But from what I know about electronics and current, I could see either the 2nd device as more of a load, causing improper reading, or possibly the extra boost line as a point of less resistance, causing pressure to go down at one or both of the devices.

consider this post a bump also, I know more people are on at night sometimes.

It should be fine. I'm running my AVC-R pressure sensor of my BOV line and it's very accurate.

It will be fine to tap off. Pressure works differently than electrical current, so don't extrapolate from that.

I work with pressure transducers on a daily basis (measuring static pressure and total pressure to get flow...and other stuff). You can tap off it without any measurable effect.

Thanks for the re-assurance guys.

thats good stuff to know mmaragos. thanks a lot!!
