FP Red Boost Creep
I have been having some trouble with boost creep since I installed my Red. I had an 02 dump on the car and it would spike 28psi and climb to 35psi or so. I swapped my Megan 02 housing back on and now the creep is not nearly as bad but its still creeping some. My mods in that area are
BR ported manifold
Ported FP Red
Megan 02 housing
Forge Wastegate Actuator
3inch turbo back with test pipe
Forge Boost Controller
I am going to try putting the stock actuator back on and see if that helps. Something weird I noticed to that might be a problem is when I boost leak tested the car my boost controller started making a funny sound when we got over 15psi. It sounded like someone blowing a balloon up then letting the air squeak back out so I'm not sure if that's a sign that its bad or not.
Here is a screenshot of my log. I accidently logged my boost in KPA instad of PSI but you get the point and can see that my boost climbs as my rpm climbs.

Ill post a screen shot of my boost from my AEM Logger here soon that will explain to you guys what's happening. I already read that thread and I'm pretty sure my case isn't as severe as his was.

turn your actuator up some to hold more boost and turn your boost controller down. I'm boosting 26psi with a green and taper down to 24psi by redline by doing that. After I get my meth tune, I'll be at 30psi and tapering down to 27-28psi by redline. We'll see what my car likes.
Are you on the stock bottom end? Just wondering as I have a red coming to me this week and I am still on the stock bottom end...just wondering on the success rate of running the red on the stock bottom end. Sorry this is off topic btw. What ended up being the fix for this.?
Boost controller will leak out of vent hole when boost leak testing. You're supposed to by pass it.
Sugguestions, service your mbc.. clean spring and ball, make sure the lines don't have any holes...i'd replace them if i were you.

Had that done to mine....I hope it helps. Not a bad price as that is a time consuming job even with the right toolage.
