i have my wastegate nipple connected directly to the nipple on the turbo outlet. i should be running stock boost. it shoots to 10 psi then creeps up to 16 and fuel cuts. pissing me off. im thinking its the wastegate actuator arm might be old and tired. any ideas? i thought that eliminators did just that, eliminate creep.
 
Huh? All an o2 eleminator does is replace the stock o2 housing... doesn't remove the o2...
 
With a big exhaust and a stock wastgate flapper you'll prob have boost creep, have someone mod the actuator with a bigger flapper door.
 
Anytime you put a 3" downpipe on a pretty much stock ar it's going to increase the chance of getting boost creep. A lot of times you won't have any problems or it will just creep a couple psi. Some people do have a problem with creeping on any 3" downpipes.

What you need to do is buy amd install an internal 34mm flapper. This will solve your creeping problems.
