SO i just bought my srt about three weeks ago .
just recently took it to the strip and noticed first and second gear hold boost at 17 just fine , shift to third and the boost spikes over 20 pounds, im guessing wastegate ???

 

what mods does the car have? i think we need more info before we can help

 

Did you get the boost issue sorted out?

 

Still a problem i just take it easy now... No hard core gasin it atm.

The car is completly stock besides the mopar blow off as far as i know.

And it has a CAI

And an APG wastegate
And when i take the pin out of the WG it feels broke or lose like i can move it allll around.. Is that normal??

But i have still not fixed this problem.

 

i usually run about 19 lbs but the other day i clicked third n it spiked 26 lbs n blew two hoses off wastegate? i put a boost controller on and it helped of course but it still tries n hits 19 sometimes n i turned it down to 16

 

oh the adjustable wastegate isnt it? thats prolly why if its turning then its prolly changing the amount of boost of course if it is adjustable id replace that wg

 

its the gearing of the transmission that makes a higher spike in different gears.

There is a locking nut on the AGP that needs to be tightened or else it will adjust itself. A boost controller or bleeder can be used to regulate the spike like you did, but optimum psi range for stock turbo is about 18-19.
