If you visit alot this site and probably do and have helped me out I greatly appreciate it. I finally cured my cars problems last night and I am in love! My car has never been this quick and powerful man now I know what you guys are talking about!

My problems were many but I fixed em all. When my car was painted and the bumper off I guess the removed the SMIC and forgot to tighten the hose clamps back up oops!

Secondly when I installed the DeJontool upper IC pipe from BOV to throttle body I didn't notice how think the flange is compared to stock so where the nuts go on the studs I was not bottoming the nut on the flange I was bottoming it on the stud not pulling it up tight.

I messed with my boost and have it around 15 PSI WOT and it spikes to about 20 for a second when I stab it is that normal? Secondly if I hold the gas at about 3/4 throttle sometimes I get a bounce in the boost gauge is that also normal?

Thanks alot guys for all your help!
 
Turbo-back exhaust and a good O2 Housing port should take care of your creeping issues.
 
Going with the beforementioned turbo-back exhaust is the best way to go. Apexi has a great setup for that.
 
Im not trying to criticize anybody here, however when I installed a full 3 inch exhaust my creeping issues only got worse and i have an external dump so now im going to try 34mm flapper and hope for the best.

I dont see how an exhaust will help. First I had cat-back and i got a little creep 17-18 psi. So to cure it I bought an external dump O2 elimator downpipe now im hitting 20 psi at 4000 rpm. In other words it only got worst as I freed it up.
 
Or does apexi actually have an exhaust that will help control boost creep. I have RNR downpipe ext. dump and I made the cat-back myself using mandrel bends. Maybe thats why mine creeps so damn bad.
