I dont see how a small exhaust leak would hinder the boost. Matter of fact, when we ran the srt open pipe it actually responded faster, a tiny bit stronger till redline and much much louder:P... I would agree with Amy but its weird, did the place that did your exhaust do crush bends or mandrel ? If they did crush then its likely that you are making too much back-pressure and thats why your needle is sort of working better.... but really you are harming the car more than anything if its crush bends.....DUDE check your leaks these cars are notorious for that. check, recheck, and keep rechecking!!!!! We have to check our lines every other week. KEEP CHECKING.

Too much back pressure makes sense, but with stock exhaust its supposed to run fine.. Hell we've ran 19psi HOLDING on the srt with stock-o ! So thats a first i hear with that. How much did the exhaust cost?

And the new exhaust fixed the vibrating boost guage issue? There must be more to the story, because changing your exhaust after the turbo should not change your boost pressure at all. Hmmmmmmm[sm=dontgetit.gif]

RE: need some serious advice
if the exhaust was leaking, then putting on a new exhaust would fix the leak. get it? there's plenty of places for boost to sneak out of pipes on these cars. throwing parts at a problem doesn't fix it, it just puts a band-aid on it.
and telling you that the stock exhaust is too restrictive and causing the boost to fluctuate is the biggest piece of bs that i've heard in a long time. they were just trying to get you to spend money, which they succesfully did just not with them.
so congrats on your band-aid, see you in a month when it's leaking again. i swear i don't know how many times i can repeat myself. bueller....oh bueller.......
