What WG spring are you using? With my profec i had to get the 14.5psi spring to hold 20+psi

Yea me too. I'm not a fan of the turbonetics units. I made a poll a long time ago about the wastegate preferences but nobody really had an opinion. I think the tials seem to be more reliable and responsive. I think my Turbonetics wastegate had a 7psi spring or something like that stock. Easiest way to tell is disconnect the boost controller and run straight wastegate. With the 7psi spring i had the profec almost maxed and would hit boost then drop drastically. With the new spring, there seems to be less lag and i actually started to get boost creep. Had it set at 20psi and by the time i was near redline i was at 21psi or so So much different than stock turbys

im not a big fan of the profec b spec 2...i am a huge fan of using correct wga springs + using an electronic dual stage manual boost controller from turboxs....cant go wrong. Flick a switch you got high boost then switch it back for low boost....dial it in with an allen key...no bs no drama

Well i have an avc-r now, so im hoping i will get traction with less boost. The profec wasnt a bad unit, but it was relentless on my tires

Well my trip to the Dodge dealership to pick up some parts for Cheryl's car ended me test driving a Caliber SRT-4 with only 3 miles on it... a few options including the Kicker System.

My thoughts on the car...
Overall appearence I like it. So much better in person for those who have not gotten a chance to see one yet in person.
Handling... fantastic! I was taking turns with it at around 80mph, with ESP On that I would lose it taking my SRT-4 through.
Performance... eh it lacks. Maybe its because I'm used to driving modded SRT-4's. At 10lbs of boost the Caliber SRT-4 felt sluggish but up top it felt pretty stronge.

Definately a nice car overall and it does have potential.

I'm not embarrass to say it but I did stall out the car 3 times. One time I was in 3rd and thought I was in 1st. The clutch itself feels a lot different then our stock clutch and of course the shifter itself is odd and in an odd position.

They had (2) Caliber SRT-4's available for purchase. The dealership also just acquired a Dodge Viper SRT-10. Oh man was that thing sick.

very nice!

Jesse's car seems to pull nicely. Once the clutch gets replaced, should be nastier
