I haven't driven the car enough to know if the creep is just the EBC "learning" the curve of the new turbo, or if it's the HP actuator, or if it's just how this turbo works. If there's no correcting it, I'm actually fine with that since the extra boost actually comes on at the perfect time (just after torque peak--where knock is most likely), and tapers before things get out-of-hand at redline.
Since you spent time in my thread I figured I'd come into this one and make one post.
I can count atleast 7 items on your car that are hurting the performance of it and could be improved. Using this car as a test bed to show what this turbo is capable of is silly but the more EVO's I see come through here with a mix match of messed up combinations and parts choices on I guess in reality it is more typical than it should be.
Just remember, don't hold the turbo accountable for the power this car puts out if and when it finally hits the dyno.
Good luck and I hope you are happy with how the car runs. You'd make more power and have a better car if the combo was put together better, IMHO.

This data is pretty much useless without a tune 
I checked out your logs.. timing is all over the place.. 2* at 5200 (or around there) with a peak of 12*.. I would assume this is 91oct gas (may have been stated already).
#1 of 7 Magnecor Wires

Feigning a guess, he doesn't like your injectors (they are a little small), your intake setup (which seems mixmatched to me), your exhaust setup (probably because they're not his),
your down pipe and 02 housing setup (same reason), your bov (which I would probably upgrade but is an alright bov), and the magnacores (which really don't sway me one way or the other).

Don't forget the original intentions of this thread.

It's just not worth $400 ($175x2+tax) to get the dyno data. If you'd like to see a dyno sheet of my car in its current state with the new turbo, I'll be happy to accept a PayPal transfer from 9 people in the amount of $20 each and go to a nearby dyno within the next few days.

Pd1, you've provided good information. I must say you are brave to try out the new turbo. And as he said, this is only preliminary information. There is still much tuning to be done.

And a 3" resonator pipe doesn't cut much power either, yet in turn makes the car a lot more quite and acceptable in certain neigborhood.

A bad combo would include a true HKS mushroom filter which this does not.
