Please give me a description of what boost spike is and what boost creep is
ok guys this is what happens to me when i hit the gas, if i press down on the gas my boost goes from 10pounds all the way up to 15 pounds, its really a disadvantage because i cant slam on the pedal hard and really feel the power, but what i do get is my revs are just climbing quickly without much pressure on the gas pedal, and i cant really slam the pedal because the boost goes flying higher!!!!! what should i do? should i remove the midpipe and put my main cat back on??? will my car run hotter with the main cat with out the midpipe?? help!!!!! what can be done to eliminate this boost problem!!!!! and what is it! boost creep or boost spike?

15lbs!!! What are your mods? You may want to remove the midpipe to stop Boost spikes but I believe that they are just a blip of extra boost, not a non stop boost increase. I think you have Boost crrep more than anything. Go buy a Greddy Profec B boost controller and limit the boost. What about your pills?

what are your mods, if you don't have the right mods you could just blow your engine. I noticed you only have 23 posts. You know about the basic upgrade path right?

Even with a boost controller, some FDs will still boost creep and you will boost too high. The only way to relieve the creep is to port the wastegate or install a restrictor plate in the exhaust (seems pointless to put a midpipe on in the first place if you install the restrictor). This is one of the cons of midpipes. Put your main cat back on (it does not hurt the reliability of the car in any way, unless it's clogged). Learn more about FDs before you blow your engine.
