Boost Creep, Need Help!

So I just put the forge wastegate on yesterday. When I started doing pulls it would hit about 19 psi and then start creeping hard up to about 24 psi.

I had the halman turned all the way down and the damn thing was still creeping on me hard.

Any suggestions? Should I be running my boost controller different maybe?

im pretty sure the minimum amount of boost you can run will a mbc hooked up is like 24psi. try running it straight of the wastegate you should be good.

You have the arm to tight. You need turn the turnbuckle counter clockwise.

Yeah, well that's why you got a Forge WGA, right? It won't run less than 19psi, and depending on the preload, it will run a minimum of 20-24psi. I had my too loose at first, and it would spike to 18psi, but then hold flat at 19-20 psi all the way to redline. I had to tighten it before I could actually get a nice initial spike that would then taper down like it's supposed to.

Do you remember how much preload there was (how far below the wg flapper pin was the turnbuckle)?

I do have it hooked up like that.

I did turn it all the way out.



I ended up taking it off and putting the stocker back on. It was just not functioning right. I even had someone look at it that knew what to look for. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
