Ok. i got in the car, and i pushed the left button on the Tru boost gage and held it for a few seconds and it said, OFF. After that the car was driving fine, wasnt doing the stuttering anymore. i even got it to boost up to i want to say 9 or 10 psi
so im thinking somehow the truboost gauge has the boost set to something the car cant handle. how do i use the adjuster in the hood? or what would i need to do to program the boost gage to work correctly?

i hit the left button on the gage til it said OFF. and the car boosted fine.
Is there anyway you can give me a walkthrough of what buttons to push and what settings to put it at, im sorry im so clueless with this. Like i said, i have no clue about turbo's or anything.
also today driving down the interstate, i pushed the turbo hard to make sure it wasnt going to stutter or anything and i then held the right button and it said HIGH 18.9 , is that how high of boost i hit. If so how is the stock turbo pushing that much psi?

Yesterday i was driving and got into some boost, and blew off either the line or cap that was on my brake booster. I never did find a line. So i capped it off and got my vacume back and my brakes.
Should my break booster be capped off? and if so where in the hell can i buy a cap. i have a ghetto one on there now.

thanx guys my cusin turned the boost up to 20 psi's on my 05 srt 4 and he tried to tell me i was running a stage 3 but never saw any of the stage three signs and it was chocking out because it was pushing way to much boost so i was gettin the whole PTB deal and it wouldnt spool up past 5 psi's but still ran fine just wouldnt get past that all the same i hope the other guy gets his car running.
