It will help eliminate boost creap... but in my opinion is not worth doing.

I have read that the stock wastegate can flow enough to work well up to (about) 12psi. If you are running more than 12psi, it is a good idea to go with an external wastegate anyway.

It does help reduce your chances of boost creep, but it is not a gurantee. If you have the turbos out anyway, it is probably worth doing if you intend to run a midpipe.

I have one on my TII and it does good to creep to 11 psi, with a 3'' dp/mp, 60mm catback, and no boost controller....
