Boost creep
 
.. at least I think that's what it is.

In 1st/2nd gear I get only upto 6psi boost, while in 3rd it goes up to 8psi after some 4000-4500rpm (takes like second or two though to reach 8psi).
Is that boost creep? Cause shure it seems like that... just wondering :)

Yeah boost creep is when the boost levels go over the initial wastegate settings. On my TT setup the wastegates are set at 8 and it boosts to 11. Instead of trying to fix it I just accept it.

i think his wastegate is set to 8psi. i thought boost creep was like in whitey's situation. l let say the wastegate is st to 8 but you get those 10-11psi spikes and then it settles back on 8. i dont think nick is having that problem mang. his turbo just doesnt spool enough to make 8psi in first. ???
