I am new to the STI had a SRT-4 but needee AWD tried of getting busted out the hole. Anyways looking to wake the STI up a little wanted to get TBE but i am kinda scared cause i keep hearing about this boost creep issue and i don't know what i should do when i get the exhaust i am not a pro on turbo cars but i do know my share is porting the wastegate an easy thing to do or what i really really want to get some more information on this and what to do about it. any directions on like a "HOW TO WASTEGATE PORT" any feedback will be really apriciated thanks guys!

 

what year is your STi? I don't know if this is right or wrong, I heared that there will be no "Boost creep" problem on 05' STi...

 

Turbo back stage 2 for 3 months and no boost creep yet on my 04. I think it's just in extreme cases. I say hook it up and try it. If you have problems then port it. I here it's not to hard if you have a steady hand and a rotory tool.

 

Many people experience boost creep with a full TBE with no cats and no Engine Management.

I waited to install my TBE untill I got the Cobb Accessport. I run the Stage II map 93 octane, with Invidia catless dp and hks cat-back. No boost creep, and I hit target boost for the Stage II program every time. This is a way to help "reduce" the occurrance.

Cobb Stage II REALLY OPENS UP THE STi. fyi

 

You can also get ur turbo ported and u won't need a tune with the tbe

 

Luke are you making your own batch of fuel in hawaii?

 

Does the 05' STi get boost creep with a TBE?

 

Why yes I am, ~4 gallons of 100 from the 76 on King Street, Honolulu and ~7-8 gallons of puke 92.

Its $7.00/gal for 100 !!!!!!!!! I only fill it up once a month though.
