Competition Backpressure gauge ?'s

[therabbittree]

I would like to run a full time back pressure gauge. Can I just plumb another boost gauge into a port on the exhuast manifold?... Like next to the egt gauge etc. ? Waht a bout the heat. . i would be using 1/8 " copper pipe . . but will the boost gauge be able to handle the heat etc. . ? What do you guys use to measure back pressure / Drive Pressure for your twins??

Thanks

Yes you can do it with a regular Boost gauge, just run copper line for a few feet then into the plastic line or run copper line up to the gauge.

I used 1/8 tubing on my new 97' and it worked great until the tubing got stopped up. I would go with 3/16 tubing. I also installed a needle valve so I could shut it off when I wasnt checking, towing, or playing.
