You only need one. You can connect the vacuum hose to the intake manifold and it will measure the boost from the first turbo then stop for a bit then once the second turbo spools up to the needed speed you should see another increase on the boost gauge

WHERE on the engine did you tap in the "T" for the line to the boost gauge? (A photo would be fantastic!)

I keep seeing comments about all the check valves and such and would like the most "accurate" location to plumb in to for mine...
