Default Boost creep?

Well, i searched and check teh faq's, but what exactly is, and what causes boost creep. and is it any different than boost spike. After reading how a guy blew his motor becuase of a boost spike, im trying to avoid any situations where this might happen. Any info is appreciated, thanx.

Ahhhh, so i really shouldnt worry about it on an internally wastgated ihi, where the stock exhaust size is like 1.75", lol. ITs tiny.

Porting out the wastegate helps a little but as far as I thought, boost creep was the reverse of a spike isn't it? Its where the turbo can't hold a consistent pressure and slowly "leaks" boost away. Because of how sensitive the actuators are on the internal wastegates?
