Safe to run two boost gauges?

I already have digital boost gauge hooked up now, but my local dealer is offering me a good deal on the sport meter kit. Can I have two boost gauges hooked up at the same time? Has any one tried this before?

Ya it is no problem tapping into the boost line twice. I have a boost controller and boost gauge running of the fuel regulator line and had -0 problems.

Yah, its not really a problem.. The only issue may be that if you have several things tapped into the same line, the gauge or sensor readings might be off slightly.. but I wouldn't worry if its just gauges.

well you do have to be carefull...if you tap off the same like with a T fitting you might actually have a significantly larger difference since the rush of air blowing over the T fitting might make a vaccuum for one of the guages....i would seperatly hook up the boost guage and digital boost guage to different sources.

Thanks for your help guys.

What other sources can I use besides the VAC line coming from the Intake Manifold to the BOV?
