Open it out until you have a 1mm seat for the wastegate 'penny' to seal on.
In a way, boost creep is a good sign. It means your engine is flowing a lot of gas and breathing well.
The only other option is to fit something to lower the efficiency, such as a more restrictive filter or exhaust system but you don't really want to do that !

Andy,
Have you any ideas why i'm getting some creep?, my wastegate has already been ported by you. (one of your 20G's)
The car is mapped for 1.48 bar max but on the road i've seen 1.61, is this enough to worry about?
I don't have any AFR gauge so i'm not sure if it runnig lean, but the knockLink is very quite.
Andy.

Have you been through the procedure of ensuring minimum preload on the wastegate actuator and a clear exit from the wastegate opening ? ie open neck downpipe.
Is your 1.61 bar a spike or a held boost figure at high rpm ?

Andy,
1)Have you been through the procedure of ensuring minimum preload on the wastegate actuator.
Not sure what you mean?
2)A clear exit from the wastegate opening.
No i'm still using a closed neck Hks d/p.
3)Is your 1.61 bar a spike or a held boost figure at high rpm.
No i think it's only a spike.
Andy.

I dont think it DP related ether as i have fitted a few non open neck dp,s and they have been way better with boost creep . I think you prob my be with the HKS boost controller .

Is this true it's taken from a US website
"Porting the wastegate is a quick fix but has it's disadvantages. The one main disadvantage is the VF39 turbo will not make as much power when the wastegate is ported and the ECU is properly programmed. Where as when the car is properly setup and programmed with an unported wastegate the car will make more power".

I thought JDM_Wrx had tried a direct connection from compressor outlet to actuator and it still crept? Still can't understand why you don't map it/get it mapped to run higher than the boost creep level? So far because of the fuel cuts, you don't know how high it might creep?

wrrjones - the hks controller is out of the equation. i have a direct pipe from turbo to actuator and still have creep. this all come about by trying to set up the hks controller.

john banks - if i disconnect the actuator rod and then drive it with a direct pipe from turbo to actuator, will this show me how far the creep goes? if it creeps to below the fuel cut then can i set the boost controller up to cater for it.
would it be easier to do what andy f suggests and port the waste gate, are there any down sides to doing this?
i see what u are saying about mapping to a higher level but i don't have a front mount i/c to cope with boost levels greater than about 16 psi.

are there any downsides to porting the wastegate?
John Banks and Andy F - thanks very much for your help in this matter, i know u are both very busy men.
cheers Rob

I don't have any pics Mark but if you look on the wastergate hole, you will see the clean area where the valve has been sealing. Just port out the inside of this hole leaving at least a 1mm seat for the valve to seal against.
Regarding the power reduction, yes if you run less boost then you are likely to have less power. Assuming the ECU/controller is set to still achieve the desired boost, then you will achieve the same power regardless if the w/g is ported or not.

hi, thanks to delboy, i now have a ported turbo housing, i fitted it last saturday and everything is now sorted. just need to setup my boost controller and i can get my remap and its back to the rollers to see if i've got my original target of 300 bhp and good torque.
the ported housing has stopped the creep, it now holds 8psi right to the red line, this being with a direct pipe from turbo to actuator. also, turbo now spools up quicker, it seems to spool around 3,200rpm where as when i original fitted my headers spool was around 3,800.
anyway, thanks for everyones help.
time to enjoy!!!
