ok now that doesnt sound like the wastegate anymore it sounds like the wastegate giving you too much boost but if the gauge doesnt show it and the cars not pulling hard untill the sputter then i dunno i must be something else. you might have a boost leak check all the vacum lines and make sure they are all still connected. after that you are going to have to think of anything you did before it started this and when did you first notice it

ok i will def check all my lines and check for boost leaks. I think u might be right because it doesnt even get past 15lbs of boost and messes up, and it started doin that after i changed the waste gate adjustment and it was boosting fine before i did that and i havent got it back to how it was since. I guess i shouldnt even have messed with it

all of the lines around the battery look intact but i still have to check behind the battery and around the turbo, probably gonna have to take off my intake to get to them.

While checking for boot leaks, look at your plugs and reset the pcm. I'm sure you have a boost leak, but it never hurts to check everything.

I am going to take off the intake and look around today to see if I can find anything, I'll post back if I find anything but that seems what it must be.

I went to dodge today and they have a very good service manager there that knows a lot about srt4's and he told me right away that i messed up the calibration on my wastegate since stage 2 wastegates should not be adjusted, so he recommended a new stage 2 wastegate to fix my problem. I ordered an agp wastegate from modern perfromance instead so hopefully this fixes what has happened.

im sure it will its nice being able to tune the boost at the spin of a screw. i didnt even think you could adjust the stage 2 but i geuss you can i think ive heard the spring is to soft so it will never really get the boost up that high but i dunno thats just what ive heard i think
