I think if you run 2 guages it would split the reading between the 2.

So it would show 2 low readings rather than the true reading.

I may be wrong dont quote me on that :D

Someone on here will know for deffo.

i'm running both mine in my 940 ... no problem with pressure readings as they are both sealed units. it shouldnt share the pressure accross the two.

dunno what car you have so may be different but you can just put your new boost gauge hose onto the vacuum tree, no need to splice anything.
