Will s5 turbo fix boost creep?
Have a 88 T2 with a full RB exhaust setup, and I am curious to know if a s5 turbo swap will fix the boost creep problem instead of having to port the wastegate on the s4 turbo?

I don't know what you are hitting now but with the S5 turbo and RB exhuast and stock intake I was hitting 9psi. and with a K&N cone around 11.
I would think you are hitting 12-15 with the S4??
it's better but it's still not perfect.

well, your stock S4 wastegate is 12 mm.
The stock wastegate on an S5 is 19mm and 24.5 mm, which can easily be ported (and backcut) to 25 mm and 30mm respectively.
You will not creep with this set-up (ported S5 wastegate).

port out your S4 wastegate and weld a new flapper on from an exhaust valve.

Work it out:
32mm, or 25mm+30mm.
The two smaller holes have a larger volume.

I'll second that. The only thing I have to add is that since you've got the turbo off either way, down the road you'll be greatful for the S5 porting.

I am getting the s5 turbo for my car. I don't plan on running a lot more boost then what the car runs now. I just noticed once that my boost spiked to 14lbs. of course that's with a autometer boost gauge, but I'd rather be safe then sorry. That's why I'm installing the s5 turbo.
