boost gauge fitment on twin turbo.

On a twin setup is a tube from each inlet pipe joined together then to the gauge ok or will this give dodgy reading? Or is a seperate gauge for them both needed? Sounds like a daft question but I'm just wondering if say 1 side was pushing out 7 psi and the other was 4 psi I wouldn't know,I would just presume that 12 psi shown was the average?? Hmmm can't get my tiny mind round it ha ha

Boost gauge should be taken from the inlet manifold.

Without knowing the exact layout of your build, it is impossible to say what may or may not happen.
If something was designed and implemented very badly, then it is possible for one side to be working harder than the other.

There is a connection on each of the boost crossover pipes that you can use for a boost gauge. You can either T them together for one gauge, or use two separate lines to run two gauges, which is how I had it mate. Cheers
