    just one. measures total boost/ combined boost of both turbos. if it shows 14psi, each turbo is putting out 7 psi. *HOPEFULLY*

    Re: one or two boost guages?

    If you need two gauges then get this one... Boost on the top and air fuel ratio on the bottom.

    Or you can have any two readings you want (boost/oil pressure, oil temp/oil pressure, boost/battery voltage, etc) as the display can be custom configured to any two set displays from the factory.

    Re: one or two boost guages?

    OK, if the boost gauge displays twice the psi in each turbo, imagine this scenario please:

    I just bought an AWE boost gauge. It only goes up to 30 psi. So, I guess I can't get a chip because I'll be pushing more than 15 psi in each turbo and 15 x 2 = 30 psi, so I might as well sell my boost gauge.

    Catch my drift?

    Re: one or two boost guages?

    I switched from a AWE old style to new style then to Winstons PODI setup. I love the Podi location above the wheel, it is 100% easier to look at especially when you're hitting 22PSI on K04s lol. People say ooooh it doesn't look stock, well guess what, I left that "look" behind when I gutted both precats and had straight pipes welded in over the main cats :-p. Preference that is all.

    if you want to do 2 boost gauges, then you would need to tap into the intercooler piping for immediately after the intercooler for both sides.

    The best example i have heard is if you have 2 TVs that are both set at half volume they dont add up and result in louder volume...its still just half volume
