Default Can I tune out my boost creep?

What is up guys, well... ive been having this boost creep problem basically since I installed my setup... Had it taken to a shop, re-preloaded the actuators.. still boost creep. Bought forge actuators with a 5Ib spring, still boost creep (althoug a bit less). Getting pretty tired of this problem :P Getting a hint of knock up top when it creeps as well.

I have an HKS EVC 6, i set target boost to 8psi (yes i configured it right, im a master at the EVC now after re-doing the setup about 100 times). At high rpm (5k+) I hit 9-9.5psi. My exhaust is APS 3.5" Downpipes into APS 2.5" Exhaust.

I am curious if there is a way to tune out my boost creep? Does more rich = less exhaust gasses? Or is it the opposite. Does it sound like its my exhaust setup? Too little backpressure = boost creep... but I highly doubt it since it seems a lot of people run the 2.5" with no problems... I dont think 2.5" is too big..

Anyways, let me know what you think, ive posted about this issue in the past but I feel I have a better grasp of it now, so I am able to make a post that makes some sense lol

I had terrible creep on my Talon. I hogged out the wastegate port and put on a larger flapper. Mine was internally gated, not sure about yours. Helped my problem a lot.

use RPM offset to drop the gain in the higher rpm
