Boost Creep Explination
atmospheric vent is only good for 5-10hp at most, the largest advantage (obviously) is that it regulates boost much better.
As far as boost creep is concerned, the LESS restriction in the exhaust pipe, the MORE you are going to creep. Air is very lazy, it'll try to go through the less restrictive path as much as possible. With as little backpressure as possible, the less restrictive path is through the turbine (thus boost creep) with more backpressure the wastegate hole becomes just as restrictive as the turbine outlet, thus it goes through both causing no boost creep.

well, as I am thinking about my Tune in Nov I more and more am leaning towards a super conservative tune with the Meth, I also wonder if it would benefit me to ask them to basically hack the DP so it vents into atmosphere, and maybe just weld up the hole (dont know if its possible) to better regulate boost, whoever I also wonder if I tune it for 12PSI and set the Boost controller to 10PSI, I cant imagine it would spike too much more then 12PSI, or Creep up to too much higher then 12PSI, I have the Berk HFC and would like to keep it on there, I know this is a ghetto way to fix it, but if I set my Boost controller to 12PSI I am sure it would spike to 14PSI, and thats a bomb waiting to explode.............

The way that you are describing will probably be a hack job and not help anything.

3" for the greddy kit???? What is it stock? 2.5? Seems that 2.5 would be just fine for less then 400hp which is plenty enough of a high limit on that greddy kit.
I guess a bigger dp would solve some issues but for the simple fix wouldn't a open dump to the atmosphere be better?????
Thoughts kev?

The damn dump tube for the wastegate is almost as big. LOL
Open dump will be too loud IMO.







might consider limiting low rpm boost too, or you'll see perhaps too much tq. I'm sure that greddy turbo is a tiny little thing.
, there is just no winning haha
