Thats your problem - cold weather ... And your not tuned for it ... plain and simple ... I hit boost cut in the mornings when its cold out but ok during the day in 4th or 5th especially if your running it to high ... get tuned =P

Its not the cold weather. All those 02 housings are the same, Ive had Helix, Megan, Edge and other random Ebay ones in my hand at the same time. They are all 100% identical. Like I said before, and someone else said, its the wastegate exhaust passge hole that is too small. Why some have problems and some dont, I dont know. I get the creep sometimes too depending where I nail it, but usually only in 4th gear if I nail it at 4k, however the only creeps up for a split second.
Its not your WGA or the MBC. My car started doing it RIGHT after the 02 install, so did yours. Its that simple.

The first thing I said to myself before that 02 went on was, "man that hole is small, I wonder if Ill creep". Also, the WGA being too tight shouldnt cause CREEP.
it might be that the wastegate flap isn't opening. I would swap out with another wastegate (friends) to check it.
If you haven't gotten any codes yet, you should be ok with other sensors that may cause this to happen.

I got creep when I swapped out the O2 housing and the actuator at the same time, so I know it's one of them. I assumed it was the actuator being too tight, but now I'm wondering about the O2 housing.
Come to think of it I also had to turn my EBC way down too, which resulted in the boost being lazy to come on no matter what the gain setting was. Typical symptom of a too loose actuator, but then I have creep too.
At this point I have the O2 off the car anyway. Can you really port it? Is there enough material? I have die grinder and carbide bit that would reach in there, but I don't want to make anything too thin.
Soon2BEVO, have you actually enlarged that hole on yours with good results?

I eagerly await your results. I just find it strange your wga magically adjusted itself after the 02 installation to cause boost creep. You and I clearly have the same problem.
