What is boost creep? - Page 2

Aside from the stock setup, if you upgraded your turbo and you ran a larger external waste gate with a catless TBE with some EM is it still possible to get boost creep?

VF-43 FTW.

Larger wastegate=less likely to have boost creep. Come on 07 guys...start getting rid of your turbos!

Get a turbo with a larger wastegate or port the existing one. I got mine ported, no boost creep for me

I know this is a pretty dead thread, but its got alot of important info in it... can anyone post findings and suggestions for the 07? will it boost creep? is it bad enough to be concerned about? ProTuned stg 2 catless downpipe, will i need to port the wastegate? etc.... questions like that since i have my tune coming up and have a catless downpipe waiting for install

That post was from 3 months ago and this thread is 3 years old, lol.

LOLZ!

I dont know how I stumbled into this thread. I think it was linked from another thread that someone recently started about Boost creep. And I mistakenly replied in the old linked thread thinking it was the recent one... Whewww! that was a mouth full.

Anyway... definitely a good laugh. Sorry.

You are the man...This has been on my mind for a while..

Hi I know this might be a big time noob Q but... I've been having boost creep and then a nice little light called CEL followed by a cruise blinking light.
I purchased the car aporx a month ago I've had an APS TBE & TMIC installed as well as a arc 3in intake.
I know im experiencing boost creep, And I know what to do to correct it i was just wondering if there was somone who could shed some light into why I have these lights.
CEL= constant
Cruise= Blinking.
Thank you.
