I dunno. Maybe the exhaust is flowing through the turbo TOO easy now and there's no motivation for it to divert through the WG?

do you have a cat? did you actually change the wastegate or just he actuator? if hte flapper isn't opening all the way it would cause this.

yeha boost creep is normally lead by acuwator not opening fully. It wont happen by how large your exhaust pipe is. My friend with a volvo has 4 inch exhaust downpipe. NO problem.. Its all about the wastegate. Also the size/flow can over extend the wastegates capablity.


You could try buying a new flapper and port hte wastegate hoole larger

and check the flapper????
