Doing twins, need help on gauges

[05Monsterdmax]

At the moment i have my 60psi boost gauge, 35psi fuel pressure gauge and then my 2k egt gauge. Ordered me another 60psi boost gauge to monitor the second turbo, and had a buddy recommend a drive pressure gauge??? Ive never personally dealt with drive pressure gauges, so im unfamiliar with how they install etc. Idaho rob will be doing the tuning as usual, so do i need the drive pressure gauge? And any links on a how to on installing one. Ive searched everywhere and not came across a single instructional thread, kinda crazy. Thanks.

Typically their tapped into one of the exhaust manifolds but you will get needle flutter that close to the exhaust ports. I ran 5ft of 1/4" tubing in a coil to dissipate heat, made up a filter with some steel wool inside a coupling before I switched to 1/8" plastic tubing running to the gauge.
100psi gauge is the normal choice

Their is alot of threads about drive pressure gauges. Like said above basically you are just running a line to the exhaust manifold. Coil copper line for a foot or so to cool the air then convert it to plastic boost line to the gauge:thumb:

I have 3' of cooper tubing hooked straight to my isspro electric sender and has been flawless for over a year.

No need for a 60psi gauge for the second turbo, 0-35 will be plenty..

X2. I have a 40 but that was all isspro offered. Gives you a better break down in the sweep. I do bury the 60# total gauge from time to time

id rather do 0-100 for total boost and 0-35 for big turbo boost. I to bury my 60lb gauge easily.

Yeah I need to bump it up. Cool thing with isspros is all I have to buy is the head, all the senders are the same. Guess I could put my 100#drive pressure head there.

There is no need to coil the line, it only needs to clear the radiant heat from the manifold NOT gas temp
