There are a lot of things that can cause boost creep. Anything from faulty/poorly installed/bad design boost controller, to a wastegate issue, boost leak, etc. Would need to know all your mods to narrow it down.

Bishop..... thanks for the reply. Just a built (internally) 7m, flowed and blue printed injectors (stock) from RC Eng..... and a Holset Turbo off of a dodge truck. I am using the stock waste gate from Holset with a stock CT-26 wastegate actuator grafted on. It boosts fine and starts out at 6psi but after a few seconds of pausing.... it just keeps going and going then FUEL CUT! All stock fuel too.

Sounds like that turbo isn't built well for this application. It's probably a poor wastegate design. If the wastegate hole is smaller then the ct-26 then you could try porting it out, but it's not an exact science and you could end up ruining the turbo, you'll also need to keep the wastegate flapper bigger then the hole. It's nice to be different, but sometimes different is a hard road, I suggest switching to a turbo that we know won't have the same problem.

put a external wastegate on it,problem solved

 

[Bishop92T]

I get the impression that his turbo is not very big, and thus not really worth the trouble of an external wastegate. Not my car or decision but my opinion

Bishop... yeah... I will scrap the idea of external wastegate if all else fails. Too much $$$$$
