I'm having crazy boost creep problems with my RB25. It says steady at 10lbs of boost from 1-6k rpms & then from 6-7k rpms it jumps to 18-20lbs. The vac for the wg is coming right off a nipple on the hot pipe. The boost gauge is getting vac from the Greddy intake. I'm running a tial 38mm wastegate with a 14lb spring, Garrett t3/t4, & egay exhaust manifold. It has to be either the manifold or the wg. I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this problem. I searched but could not find anything...

try to move the boost source for the wastegate to the vac-port behind the throttle body on the intake manifold

Crappy manifold design.

I use the same w/g with a t3/t4 60 trim along with a modified stock manifold with no creep.
