Question EBP gauge

so i took the truck to the shop and had my quad pod installed and had tranny temp, boost, pyro, and EBP installed, well my question is if my EBP is correct, they drilled a hole in the exhaust is right next to ta the pyro probe, and at idle and driving down the road it reads right round 0psi, and if i hammer down for jesus it reads the same readings as my boost, when my boost reads 20 psi so doesnt my EBP (my valve doesnt close ither)

well ya, but i was just wondering if the EBP was right, and the boost is the same as it was on the last gauge that i had in there, by drive pressure you do mean boost right?

the reason i was asking is because im wiring the valve to a switch and i want to make sure that this is accurate so i dont blow the motor

your drive pressure will be close to if not double your boost numbers, on a stock turbo anyways

On a stock turbo your EBP should be about the same as the boost to about 18psi, then it will go up from there. At 25# boost you will be at 35-40psi back pressure...
