Default Question for the pro's

Just curious, I have a 2004 SRT-4, I used to be able to get 11-14 PSI of boost, now I only get 5-9 PSI???? Very confused?? [sm=dontgetit.gif] I appreciate if someone can explain this to me. Thanks.

It is all stock except for a Mopar BOV. I use 93 octane in it. The tank I just put in, I threw in 94 to see if it does any difference. I live right outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The temperatures are 40's to 50's. [sm=smiley22.gif]

This happened before the BOV was installed, not sure if it could be the gas I'm getting or what?? I do have a rattle that seems to come from the engine compartment up by where the front defroster is, others seem to say they have that also, and said it was gas related. I'm just confused.

If it is still under warranty, take it in.

Where are you at - I live in Ardmore. I wouldn't think you are having a Gas problem. Although it's pretty expensive around here it's all pretty good as long as you go to a good stn. like Sunoco and not Hess or something.

Let us know what it turns out to be. I'd say you need to find a good dealer - and it's tough around here. I just found Bergey's in Lansdale. It's not too far and they have a mechanic with stage 3r. They are into the SRT-4 and most around here don't have a clue.
I would talk to the guys up there and see if they could get you in to see Jason (Their 3R guy). Also check your intercooler hoses, and any vaccum lines for a leak.
Do you have an increase in rpm's at idle?
