For example one could upgrade the CB, then the DP, and then get creep after adding the MP assuming its one of the cars that will get creep. Now if its one of the cars that doesn't get creep then you can go in any order and you still won't get creep.
Sounds like your car is one of the ones that dont' creep (as is mine, lucky for us ). Am I making sense? I havn't slept in a day or 2 and that makes me ramble. lol

and yea I have had 2 sets of turbos, 1 straight through exhaust and a semi-restricted exhaust and no boost creep, so I dunno, I guess I got a lemon.

I believe the exhaust system has the largest portion of the boost creep equation. However, if your intake tract is restricting flow through the motor the exhaust doesn't have the same amount of CFM (cubic feet per minute) of gasses to release. Now if you add a large stock mount intercooler and remove the second set of butterflies in the throttle body with a free flowing exhaust you should be able to flow enough CFM to over power the stock waste gate. Simply because you’re flowing more air.

You are so right. It depends mostly on exhuast system. The other stuff like intake has an effect but not as much.
Also, the factory pills can have an effect.
For instance, my buddy installed a full exhuast with a bunch of other mods. He has over 15psi after switchover. I removed his wastegate pill and the reaction time for the gate opening is much faster. It reduced his boost pressure on lower gears to about 11-12 psi.
Since he has a Haltech, his boost setting will react differently than stock ECU boost settings.

However, MPs are typically a later upgrade and most people that switch to a MP already have an upgraded ECU. A good amount of people have trouble with creep using a MP, which is a BAD thing on the stock ECU. But, if you can keep the boost constant and under 10psi, then you'll be fine on the stocker.

I think the two mod rule comes into play here... like dp intake, but as soon as you try to make real power you NEED an ecu. but hey if you think otherwise go ahead, its not my engine
I did have my dp, cat back and intake before my ecu... car was fine. would I have gone further without ignition and fuel control? hell no!

The three mod rule has been totally disproven. As long as you keep the boost below 10psi, the stock ECU can handle all of the bolt-ons. This has been known for years. Take a look at Wade Lanham's site:
Myths: 3 Mod Rule
The three mod rule is a good general guide for newbies who may not know how to control boost. But it is a fallacy as long as you can keep the boost at stock levels.
But again, a MP usually introduces some uncontrollable boost creep, which would be BAD on the stock ECU. I was just addressing your statement that everyone who modifies their car is running an ECU. Which (most people here will agree with me) is not an accurate statement.

This ends up being a problem when people open up there exhaust becasue there is more flow through the turbos hence the wastegate has more it needs to vent.
