I've heard of people complaining of inaccurate boost gauges. Generally, they have been American brands like Autometer or cheapies.
My APEX'i gauge appears to be deadly accurate, reading pretty much spot on what my Gizzmo does, as well as what the dyno printout did.
What did they mean by reading boost at the turbos?? There is no way you'd be pulling the line off the turbo, as a) it's a PITA and b) you'd have no boost control.
You'd be right in your assumption with the loss across the IC and piping, but that shouldn't explain why you have a different reading.
Personally, I'd be believing the dyno guys for the boost pressure. While some dodgy operators can fiddle with values (although they are severely limited in what they can modify with something like Shootout) the boost pressure is just a readout and shouldn't be part of the power calculation. What does the dyno sheet look like, can you print it out?
