Boost creep question

Hello fellow evom,

I was wondering if i would get boost creep if i install a o2 housing, dp with deleled cat, and exhaust?
Is there anything I should be aware of first before i put on these mods.

Thanks,

Thomas.

I installed almost the same mods in the same day and I didn't get any boost creep.

If it is a divorced O2,maybe. You will have to see. Most here get a megan O2 and increase the diameter of the hole as to avoid boost creep.

I would suggest if you install those mods you get a tune...you'll spool your turbo more quickly and you are certainly exposing yourself to boost issues

aside from that read the evo modding for dummies thread in the stickies

you have a lot of reading to do

If you get the Megan 02 housing you might get it. I bought one of my friend and it's already ported, he mentioned the weakness of it is boost creep but just increase diameter. Get an Invidia 02 housing and you'll be fine.

Thanks guys. After I get everything put on going to get a tune right whenever I can.

This what I got so far. Rsr dp with deleted cat and rsr gt2 and Megan o2 housing. Might just get a boost controlled to prevent it from boost creep.

A boost controller will not help boost creep. The problem is that sometimes with a o2 housing, the passage is not opened enough and even when the turbo's wastegate is fully open (to lower boost), you still might not be able to run less than a certain boost level (24psi for instance).

Ahh ic. Well I've already installed everything together so I haven't seen any boost creep so I am guessing I would need to get that tune. Which I've already planned to do.

Thanks for all the info guys.
