Both boys were refused bail to appear at Broadmeadow Children's Court on Wednesday.
A third 15-year-old boy was taken to John Hunter Hospital.
It is alleged the teens broke into a home on Steven Place in Newcastle East shortly before they were spotted by Lake Macquarie Police in New Lambton at around 1.50am.
The driver allegedly failed to stop and police began a pursuit which ended a short time later in Campbell Street, Wallsend.
