Double boost gauge's

I have the stock gauge cluster in my MR,i want to put a Defi Blue Racer Boost Gauge on the steering colum with a Autometer EVO Steering Column Gauge Pod .
The thing i would like to know is, i want like to keep the stock oil temp and voltage gauge's for now.Can i leave the stock boost gauge connected and still install the Delfi without problem's or do i have to disconnect the stock gauge.I really don't like the location of the stock boost gauge and i don't want to move the whole gauge cluster just for the boost gauge.The answer is probably obvious,but i would like to hear it from someone that know's more about this then i do.Any comment's would be great,thank's.

Just T off the line and you should be fine with two gauges. You could technically hook up as many as you want.

shouldnt be a problem, just a t fitting like already stated....the theory on hookin up as many as you want may be off though....more tapping and extra vacuum lines probably gonna = less accurate gauges....but 2 should be ok

Do it, you won't have a problem; just T off the already existing line like Rob said.

It will be nice to check the Defi to your stock gauge for accuracy also.

yeah having two believe it or not is a beautiful thing

I have an autometer boost gauge and the stock mr gauges...my autometer line got kinked when I adjusted my steerting column so it wouldn't go past 15 psi

but I checked my stock gauge it went straight to 1.5 bar so I knew something was off...then I traced the autometer line and bammm it was kinked

mine is just tee'd off the stock line...it's a great concept since boost leaks do occur

You can connect as many boost gauges as you want. I have the stock plus the Defi BF imperial series but as far is having gauges there is no limits.

Just add another T fitting for the Defi gauge. You can connect the defi close to existing MR stock boost gauge.
