Look at it this way, the exhaust can only flow as much as the most restrictive part will allow so you may as well just have the 2.5 all the way back

Usually it is porting of the o2 housing.With my dp and exhaust I still had boost creep. Some guys talk about good porting of the turbo or manifold forgot which one was it.
My 14b creeps as well with 3" turbo back. It creeps to 20psi , so I need to port the hot side and get a bigger waste gate flapper? I was thinking to convert to a external waste gate on the 14b would that make any difference?
I think running an O2 dump or an external wastegate would cure most boost creep issues.

Porting and an external setup would most likely resolve it. Dumping could help some, but not much, and you may be harrassed by the fuzz due to the loud sound it makes.
An external gate would only help if it's off the manifold. A gate off the o2 housing will still creep because it's the turbine housing design that needs altered. You could put on a larger flapper but that will only help so much if the design is already flawed. Not to mention it will also be easier to blow open at higher boost settings.
Generally what I tell people is to just port the hell out of the housing and leave the flapper alone.
Yeah open dumps for me will be a no! Does anyone sell a external waste gate set ups for the 14b,16g ?
I am going to call shenanigans, on an O2 external gate you remove the flapper altogether, the flapper was the largest part of the problem because it didn't open wide enough.
