Does my home made log manifold really suck that bad?
 

After my SSAC manifold crapped out, I made a log for my 14b. Since then i've had some boost creep issues, and i'll only boost up to 6.5psi(Wastegate is 8psi) I had redo some of the chargepiping, the down pipe(which I just cut shorter for the time being), and the oil drain line. I checked my piping for leaks and found a few and fixed them, it helped a tiny amount but basically the same thing. Any ideas, maybe my BOV is shot, i dunno

Maybe you your wastegate is leaking by? Or the flange is warped?

Flange was warped, but I had it resurface at a machine shop, and the wastegate flapper seems to be tightly shut.

Creep is not caused by exhaust leaks.

Port the wastegate flapper, make sure the actuator arm and/or the flapper arm aren't binding.

Thanks, I think the phrase im looking for is "boost lag" Sorry

That manifold is sick tight. :6

Thanks, just hope that it is not my problem :S

Found my problem to the boost lag, turns out one of the bolts that mounts the turbo to the manifold came out, and it was blowing through the gasket. I put the new one in, and spools up good now.
