boost on the srt-4 is controlled by the pcm via a solenoid that controls the boost.

you won't kill the turbo by running it with no coolant but like stated above you need to let it cool for a few minutes after EVERY time you drive. get a turbo timer and it does it for you.

I wont buy the agp if I can get 4psi off the wastegate. I can use a boost controller to turn it up. Have you ever tried one? Everything I read was from forums.
now that you mention it, when i hooked the stock wastegate up, it did only run about 4psi....i figured that sumthing was just wrong with the wastegate

2 reasons. I want to run low boost as a DD, and be able to turn it up when racing. The other reason is, I am building a srt-4 2.4 and will need to be broke in.
