Boost Creep issues
Well this is the second time I experienced a boost creep, all under the same time and place and circumstances. I'm coming home from school car is warmed up its about 85 outside and I decide to open her up on the highway. I'n 3rd I punch it build boost up to 10 psi at around 6k rpms i go from 95% to WOT and the boost climb beyond 10 to 12 then to 15 so I get off of it checked my a/f recall and I never dropped lean my Greddy Rubics did a full cycle.
I hardly ever get these boost creeps but is creeping up to 15psi dangerous???
i running a street port, hi flow turbo's, greddy rubics, aux fuel pump, full 3" turbo back exhaust, PF SMIC, and a PF tuned PF ECU

You can't run an external wastegate.
A restrictor plate is just that, it restricts exhaust flow. They work, but I don't see how you are going to make much more power than just running a hi-flow cat.
Ported wastegate is best....unfortunately requires removal of turbos and is a general all around unpleasant task.

What did you cut your wastegate to, and what boost are you running?
I suppose if you didn't port it as large as possible and ran your boost really low (less than 10psi) you could still get creep. Or, if the wastegate actuator isn't opening the door completely.
"Nasty" boost creep suggests you may have a leak or malfunction in the wastegate actuator lines.

33mm = 1.30".
It's probably nothing wrong with the boost controller, I'd just make sure the flapper door is being opened 100% (check the reach of the actuator vs. the swing of the door). I have a Mityvac - I'd just tee both actuator nipples together and see that 8psi is enough to move the actuator all the way, and that it's enough movement to swing the door completely open.

windom,
There have been several people in the past that even with a ported wastegate, they couldn't stop boost creep in some situations. You basically run into only two options:
1. Larger port with a new/larger flapper door
2. Restriction plate in the exhaust
I believe Garfinkle does the larger flapper door if that's an option for you.
