They are one and the same. A back pressure gauge will tell you the exhaust gas pressure pre turbo. If you are trying to dial in a wastegate or just want to know what the pressures are then they are a must. Most people don't have one permenantly but rather use them temporarily until they have their wastegate set where they want.

Hmm. Would be cool to just have for fun. How do you hook one up?

Drill and tap a manifold to 1/8npt. Get a boost gauge that will hit at least 40lbs. Get a copper install kit for a boost/fuel/oil pressure gauge and run the copper off of the manifold in a coil pattern. Then hook the nylon tubing that came with the boost gauge up to the copper and run it in cab to the gauge.
Seriously though, unless you have a problem or are trying to dial in a charger setup I wouldn't use one.

Iv heard of people using where the EBPV tube goes. Would that work? That way you don't have to drill and tap anything?

T off of the EBP sensor tube... Very easy and quick...
Isspro offers an electric version in the EV2 line up, as well as the Performax...

There is a old video... the top gauge is drive pressure, the second one is boost.

My EBPV is disconnected so instead of teeing off that can you just pull the sensor out and use that?

Is that a heads up display?

Thanks for posting that up. Pretty cool
Leave the sensor hooked up. The PCM uses that information for different maps.
No, it was a prototype Cooling Mist set up... Long gone. That video is about 3-4 years old.

Thats fine, just dont disconnect the sensor at the front of the motor. You can easily T off it with some brass fittings.

Hey csipsd could you put up a pic of how yours is plumbed in there at the EBPV sensor?
