Alright this has been a issue for a long time an its light weight annoying lol Im running a Black top S13 SR in my 14 with a S14 SR T28, SS Lines, ported manifold, Front mount etc an this has been a problem even back with my t25 had some (intercooler setup) my car will run 6 psi around 3300rpms(Current T28) then as i try to do a pull the boost slowly raises up? to around 9-10 psi at 7k :wtf2: . I have the wastegate hooked up to the largest throttle body port. theres nothing else tapped off it. it just slowly raises boost in high rpms. An for some reason I can never run steady boost with any electronic boost controller? Im thinking could it possibly be a boost leak? Idk what else it maybe but my car wont stutter under load at all? Any oppinion on this would be much appreciated cause i wanna put my 2871r on but boost spike issues on that I feel like would be fatal to my motor :(

So I've been doing some research since I've posted this. From my understanding this would technically be "Boost Creep" not "Boost Spike" an From researching the boost creep stolen from another member on here these are basically the possible culprits. I wanna make sure Im on the right track before I start testing/spending a lil doe haha
1. your actuator hose could be too long, remember the stock one comes from the hotpipe which is located right next to the turbo.

2. your actuator hose could be too small, or clogged (i know you said you replaced it, but check it again)

3. for your actuator, you want to git signal from your charge piping

4. if all else fails, maybe to much flow? not enough back pressure?

wtf, i cant get my car to boost 6psi !(stock setup, no leaks)

Changed the charge line an my boost creep got worse? Im gonna try shortening it an avoiding my boost controller to shorten the distnace to see if that helps... Hopefully...

I have heard some strange things about back pressure, what exhaust system do you have? (Elbow,DP,Cat,Catback)
