Is it possible to fit 2 boost gauges(1 for each turbo) and would it be a bugga of a job??

 

Id like to know and monitor the performance of `each` turbo and make sure they are both giving equal out-puts rather than an overall conbined out-put of the 2.

you can fit 2 but they would read the same because of the balance bar

IIRC they are equaled out via the balance bar

You'd get the same reading on both regardless because of the above!

so its totaly impossible then even with a few mods??

I've done it on mine but as above cause of the balance bar both Turbo's will read the same preassure... Say If i had a 1.2mm boost jet in one line and and 1.0 in the other you would still get one overall pressure cause of the balance bar...

The balance bar will smooth out small differences in boost between the turbos. If however, one turbo is failing, then two boost gauges will definitely show a difference when the boost pressure is high. (Since the balance bar has a small bore) (Trouble is, when you're at full boost, on the road at least, I tend to look out of the front windscreen rather than at the gauges! :))

 

Simon.

depends where you measure the boost.

if you measure it as close to the turbo as possible (eg. by tapping the lines into the compressor housings) you will certainly be able to see the difference.

Cheers for the advice guys, As long as i will be able to tell if one is failing thats all i really need to know.

How close to the turbos are your sensors Jon??

have been thinking about doing this with mine,

where exactly would you tap the feed from?

 

has anyone done this before?
