I have an 05 STi, and I have not noticed a creep...yet.

no, still using exact same VF39 with the same P17 exhasut housing. Keep in mind that boost creep only happens when you add an exhasut, so this is an issue that Subaru has no interest in addressing for us.

Basically means that the turbo keeps putting pressure into the system even though the wastegate is open.

The wastegate is a sort of turbo bypass for exhaust that is supposed to prevent the turbo from cuasing excessive boost pressure.

The reason its bad is the turbo puts unwanted pressure on the system causing dangerous spikes.

There is a long thread on this issue in the "Threads of note" sticky
