I read it, I just do not know how to help your car. Hell, my turbo feeds what would be waste pressure back into the intake to recycle it. :confused:

From reading the SRT forum you posted a link to, I would think that maybe you need to check your vacuum hose routing. Or maybe the solenoid is goofed.

Why don't u give us some more info, since most of us don't know about dem skittles. IE, why were you changing out your WGA? What is stock boost supposed to be?

[VDUBNDizzy]

The stock WG bleeds off boost in the upper rpms so they replace with a stronger WG actuator. I don't know what to tell you Phil. What happens when you run straight off the WG, ie charge source directly to the WGA.

What do you mean straight off the WGA?

If I run the vac line off the back of the turbo and plug where the WGA is usually hooked up it makes more than 4lbs of boost, to me that says there is something wrong with my WGA. Said vac hose T's off and goes to the solinoid...I am assuming this is where I am having the issue, I have not tried to run just to the WGA and leaving the solinoid out of the equation...maybe I'll try that this week.

I believe I have it all back to stock just like the little diagram under the hood shows.

Backstory: Had aftermarket WGA to make 18-19lbs of boost, took it off to go back to stock cause part-throttle boost sucks ass, and now I can't get the damn car to run right.

stock boost levels: 13-15 and 11-12 by redline

I really need to look at a STOCK SRT-4...anybody got one?

[phillyd]

so I'm an asshat. I didn't have the vac lines setup correctly...I have to change them after work today, but I know it's gonna work. sorry for the unnessacery drama. :rolleyes:

Hey Phil,
Nothing should be wrong with your WGA. The car's boost is controlled by 3 differnet seloind switches. You more than likely have a vac. line mixed up somewhere. Running the WGA straight off the turbo' you will connect a line from the compressor housing straight to the WGA. Although, you are going to want to put some type of bleed in place to help bleed off some boost. If not you'll be boosting like crazy. Since you are wanting to go back stock you'll need let the 3 seloinds control the boost again. Stock boost will range from 10 -15 psi depending upon ambient air temp conditions, octane levels (knock), operating temps. You'll need to get with me so I can go through with it for you. If you want call the number I pmed you this weekend and we'll see what we can do.

Phil, one more thing to help you out with the vac lines. Lift the hood up and on the bottom right hand corner you will see a diagram of the stock vac lines. Check that out and see if it helps you any.
