MitsuStyle - View Single Post - Dealing with boost creep and running lean

In the third gear pull, it says that you were only at 55% throttle. Those numbers dont mean much then. You have to fix boost creep, not deal with it. Since you do not have a large downpipe, I would check for a kinked/pinched vaccum line. Try taking off your boost controller and mending the hose together. If it still creeps, you know it has nothing to do with the boost controller itself. Check what is with that other boost controller that came with the car. Maybe it is still connected in some way. I haven't heard of many creep problems on a 14b before.

BTW, the boost creep is causing your car to run lean at higher rpms when it is creeping.
