the definition of drive pressure is the difference between the boost pressure and the pre-turbo exaust pressure? and is ideally 1:1 right?

Is there a kit that I can buy that will make this easy to compare both pressures, or do you just have to have two gauges and compare both of them yourself?

you have to have two seperate gauges to read each one. Really easy just tap manifold (again) and run 10 feet of copper line looped up (to cool the air before it hits the plastic line) or you can just run 1/4 copper line all way to the gauge, like i will do. its like 6-7 dollars for 10 feet of 1/4 copper line at Home Depot.

Actually that would be the drive pressure ratio. Drive pressure=exhaust backpressure
