pre/post innercooler boost

[swankmetal]

just hooked up a boost gauge before the innercooler. haven't driven too much, but was surprised by how close (1-2 psi at 45 psi) the before/after gauges were. just wondering if this is normal. thanks in advance.

normal as long as the intercooler doesn't have any leaks

Correct, it should be very close to the same pre/post cooler considering no major obstructions or easier ways for the air to escape. Post usually gives you a more accurate reading though because there is less turbulence and the air has lost a bit of heat.
