Carlos & howard thanks for the pics and info! Just what I was after.
For Carlos - a couple questions regarding your location(s)
For me, I'm running a similar manifold setup. Am I going to get different readings at certain locations in the manifold? I was thinking of tapping my tubing into waste gate runners (where they are collected) but would this location give me useful/useless readings vs. putting them closer to the engine? (like yours, in the primaries)

Anybody consider the cooling effects the long copper/stainless tubing has on the accuracy of the back pressure measurement?
It would seem the pressure "felt" across the turbine inducer/exducer will be different than what you might measure from a remote mounted pressure sensor referenced from cabin atmospheric pressure.

Actually, I've thought about this a little more after I posted, and I no longer think the cooling effect or length of hose would have anything to do with the measured accuracy of pressure. I'd actually like to do this myself in my upcoming build.
