Stupid noob type question - SRT Forums

I have your wga, and it's hooked up from the turbo, where the green line used to be, to the mbc and then to the wga. Now I can't get my car to boost past 15lbs without some sorta studdering, or boost cutout.

I've read that the blue line may solve this problem, so my question is, since I have removed my green line, what lines do I have to put back and where? I live in a small town, so I can't just go and take a look at a stock srt4's lines or anything like that.

On the bright side of things, I love the wga, it makes my mopar bov go off like crazy.

Thanks for any help. And yes, I do feel kinda dumb asking this, but I can't seem to find the answer I need, so I thought I'd ask the pros.

Sounds like a spark problem. Pull your plugs out and gap them down to .030"

I have NGK plugs gapped at .040, think gaping down to .030 will help?

i have the same deal, I can be part throttle and boosting 5-10 lbs and it will jerk the car a bit, like it wants to go but its not. I dont have this problem in WOT, just when i want to casual drive. U think it may be the plug gap also. I have the NGK's gapped at .40

i have my plugs gapped at .35 boosting at 17psi, dropping to 14 to 15 to redline

My problem is only at WOT, below 3000rpm, and with the boost set higher then 15lbs. Once I lower my boost to 15lbs then I'm fine. Also I'm having problems holding 15 till redline. If I turn up the wga so I hold 15lbs to redline, then I'm hitting 19-20lbs in 3rd and 4th gears, and that's with the mbc set to minumum.

That may be compressor surge. Does the turbo make a noise and you maybe get a slight pulsation in the car?
As for holding level boost that's all in the adjustment of your boost controller and WGA. You have to preload the WGA enough to hold high boost at redline then close up the boost controller untill it doesn't spike. It takes a bit of work to dial it in.

I get a pulsation in the car, but I can't hear any different noises from the turbo. But the pulsing from the car feels more like it's cutting boost. Sometimes you can actually see the boost gauge flutter, this will happen before it even hits 15lbs. Could my boost gauge possibly be out? and I'm putting out more boost then I think I am?
