I have one gauge at the front of my machine but with the hose so long it reads several inches too low. the hose is 1/2" so it is not a small one and it does not collapse. so how to get the same readings on the one next to the blower and the one in front of my machine?

Have you consider a hard tube like copper or PVC tubing for most of the run? It would certainly have to be perfectly sealed against any leaks to give you the same measurement as the blower indicates.

after I posted I was thinking that. wonder i there is some flex line that would do it? it would make it easier to install.
