Check and make sure that there are no loose connections or leaks in the piping between the compressor outlet and the Throttle body inlet, including the intercooler. Also make sure that the waste gate (if yours has one) on the turbo is functioning properly. It' possible that the vacuum/boost operated actuator on it is bad, and it is opening the wastegate too early. Does the stg3 turbo have an adjustable wastegate? If you have a blowoff valve, check and make sure it isn't sticking/stuck open also.

Is it under warranty? If it is, take it to the dealer, the stage 3 kits are still covered on the original warranty.

Oh, so was it a Mopar kit or aftermarket? I was looking around at SRT4s a while ago before I bought my R/T and they told me the stage 3 cars carried the warranty.
