That's about normal for completely stock. Now that the weather is getting cooler doesn't help much to hold boost on a stock SRT. I was boosting the same as well in the beginning. Invest in a WGA, boost controller and better exhaust as first mods.

I am basicly stock (stage 1) and on friday I was hitting 20psi in 4th, but then quickly dropped to about 15 then down to 12
When I was stock I would still hit 16-18 psi spikes and usually hold to about 11-12

Could be a little boost leak maybe on the mopar bov. Wouldnt hurt to get a leak tester and check everything. Zip tie all your lines.

20lbs?! no way.. and 18 stock, that sounds more like a broken boost gauge lol.. with S1 when my car was @ 160 degrees on its best night couldnt get anything over 16spike.. if ur gauge isnt bad then reset ur PCM.. ive never heard of a S1 pcm boostcontrolled car boosting 20lbs.. need a MBC for that

I had seen 18 all the time on my 05 it would drop quick to 15 and most of the time it would hold to 13 at redline. Sounds a little low to me, need to do a boost leak check.

HOLY SHIT 18.. thats ridiculous.. defeats the purpose of a MBC
but i forgot to add in my other post that ur boost even tho ur are only S1 is still low.. you should spike at least 15

After 30k your car has to be leaking like a siv. Pcv valve needs to be changed, ic pipes need to be pressure checked and tightened, tranny fluid needs to be changed, plugs and wires should have been changed if not need to be done, mopar bov needs to be thrown for distance, filter on your aem prolly needs to be cleaned and recharged, and a bunch of other things that prolly need to be addressed that I can't think of...
but 11-13 is mediocre and shoule be a wee bit higher...:rimshot:
