    When i bought my SRT-4 it didnt come with the factory boost guage or pod in the dash where they normally are mounted from the factory. So honestly i have no idea how much boost im running. My guess is about 10psi thats where i have heard how they come set at from the factory. I am looking on going to the nearest Dodge dealership and ordering the parts needed so i can get guage back where in belongs.

    You bought a turbo neon with no boost gauge?? tsk-tsk.

    From the factory, from what I can remember, is that most would spike to about 15psi, and fall off to 11-12 at redline.

    Get a boost gauge!!!!

    Like already stated, stock the Neon's spiked 14 lbs of boost, falling to 11 lbs by redline...but why someone would remove the factory boost gauge from a stock SRT-4 is beyond me. I'd have to speculate that the car is in fact not stock, or at the very least been "put back to stock"...well mostly so, anyways.

    just pick an Autometer ultralite 20/30 gauge from Autozone, Pepboys, Orelly they run about $55. stock is only 20/20 and is a peice of crap anyway.

    Yeah i already have a phantom boost/vac gauge ready to go i just need to find a clean mounting salution. I honestly dont know why the factory setup was removed the kid who owned the car before me really did some stupid things to the car like removeing the mid-section of the exaust system which was replaced by the dealership.

    Agreed I would recommend that you scour over the vac lines and other things to make sure that other stupid things weren't done.
