i can't lower it to 10-12. i have to port the wastegate or putting a cat on it.So it's gonna be an pfc and a non-sequential conv.i'm on the way to buy alu. rad. and fmic so i'll wait to run it next year but with a nice set-up.

You could also put in an exhaust restrictor. It took care of my creep issue right away. It will hold be off until I get the wastegate ported.

Just installing the pfc isn't enough. Stay out of the boost until your TUNED for 14 psi, or you will regret it. In the interim, you should consider re-installing the stock cat or at least a restrictor plate.

14 psi won't hurt anything as long as you stay under 4K rpm

Remove the wastegate restrictor pills, it should keep the car around 8-10psi. Ive never seen one have overboosting issues with the restrictors removed.

You can keep running 14lbs though and I will gladly sell you a shortblock

With no cat, the car will still overboost/creep with no pill (not "pills" since there is only one) in the wastegate line.

You buy many restrictor plates and then you keep going down in size until it is controlled. Should be between 2.5 and 2.75 ID.
