Anyone running two boost gauges?

I should clarify. I have the MR gauge panel, but want a slightly larger, perhaps more accurate gauge mounted on the steering column as well. Can I add a second vacuum line tap either right before or right after the MR tap?

I have MR stock boost and a defi blue racer with no problems.It's interesting to see how close the two are under boost and i must say the stock boost gauge is pretty close to the defi.

Good to know. I was looking at the Dynotune digital boost gauge. The sender and coupler look pretty beefy.. I found this image from another member's photographs:



So I can just cut the vacuum tube before the stock MR gauge tap, and add this to the line?

technically i have two....

a Defi boost gauge in a custom cubby pod and then also an HKS EVC 5 boost controller which digitally displays boost pressure (in Hg when off boost and PSI when on boost)

Ill post up a pic if wanted

I have that exact set up... an MR gauge, and a SW gauge on the steering wheel. I just tee'd the line going to the MR gauge, saves a lot of time tapping into another vac source

Is there any problem with just disconnecting the stock MR gauge?

yeah, cant you just de-attach the vaccum line from the MR boost gauge panel and attach it to the new boost gauge?
