Default 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.
