Boost creep = boost keeps increasing unless you let off the gas, and is caused by too small of a wastegate or a wastgate that is not fully opening for some reason.

Boost spike = boost increases initially, but then goes back down on its own, and is caused by a slow-actuating wastegate that takes too long to open up.

bov will do nothing. ONLY way to fix it is by porting the wastegate.

ok, now i noticed when i floor it, the car will boost but... the car will bog for about 500rpm and then accellerate normally for about 1000-2000rpm then bog again for another 500-1000 rpm. It does this in the upper revs. whats going on? -alex
