EM will help you get the most power out of every mod thats for sure.

Im running a fujitsubo catback with a helix catted dp (no CEL) and I have no creep (the cat back also has 2 resonators). In short any restriction in the exhaust will help prevent boost creep (like it did for me), but in all cases make sure you have a boost gauge.

As an alternative to the before mentioned would fitting a new wastegate (AVO) cure the problem?

Do not run OTS mapping with whatever EM you choose. You will need custom tuning to deal with the port.

Thanks for the info... my tuner recommended UTEC (for FP Green)

Dumb question , what is OTS mapping? (OTS)
