Re: whats up

I've seen it go both ways. On cars with big exhaust (3" all the way or similar) and stock waist gates it tends to be the higher you set it, the higher it creeps type situation. Josh's $800 Talon worked this way when we put the exhaust on it. Crept like a mofo till we did something to fix it (ported turbo, or external dump, I forgot what we did)

We had an Audi in here that was similar, it would creep to ~21 on straight WG setting, with the inital at 18 it would creep to 24, about all they wanted to run.

My GVR4 had a 14B, with an external dump O2 housing, it would boost creep if it was "cold" outside (50F) with the boost low, but not when it was warm (65-70). I could also just set it higher and not have issues, but this is when I first got it running so I wan't comfortable with it yet.

It seems to me, On cars where the creep goes away when you turn it up, the WG itself isn’t big enough. On cars where it creeps higher the higher you set it, there is a WG flow path issue.
