i dont understand how people can say having back pressure doesn't cure boost creep, but in my case it did, and i am sooo relieved. After doing everything by the book i still had boost creep, there was nothing more to port and no bigger flapper possible. That is when we started looking at my "custom" made 3" exhaust. The way i had it done was without really any true bends in the exhaust, it basically went straight out the back. I had absolutely no control of my boost from 4 grand up, there was just no stopping it. By not having those bends in my exhaust like any manufactured exhuast, my exhuast was just too free flowing for "my set up." That is when we tried pinching down the downpipe to 2.5" to the flex, helped but didn't cure it. We decided to add a little restriction to the exhuast by putting in a high flow cat and it worked. I have complete control over my boost. It has been over a year now that i have not been able to drive my car to the max and now i can. I can't thank Car Version 2 enough for helping me. My advice is to not be cheap when you do stuff to your car becuase it usually comes back to haunt you.

what did you help me with?

In this thread there is a link to your other thread that we talked in.

Seems to be a the same argument over and over again. There is a fix for the problem, but you choose to go an other route and continue to have problems. Remember this.

Just why is it me who has to deal with all of this stuff and not have my car just work right?

I have a good idea as to why you continue to be "that guy".

yes i know there is a fix to the problem, i have told you so many times that...i was just saying in my thread from the very beginning that if you are having a problem with boost creep and have done all of the porting that could possibly be done and you CANT SPEND THE MONEY RIGHT NOW ON AN EXTERNAL WASTEGATE to just put a 3" high flow cat in and it did the trick for me. You are just too cocky about this stuff...here is you again saying what i need to do which i have already said that a million times and that the only reason why is that i can't afford it right now...

It sounds to me like you may need to step up to an external WG setup.

so basically you just tell me the same stuff over and over again, and frustrate the hell out of me

oh and im assuming it was you but it may not have been, but what person reports others...grow up
