i have a deltagate in my car for almost 2 years now and im running about 17psi with no creep problems at all using a halman manual boost controller and before that i had an hks evc IV electronic also with no creep problems i did have a creep problem with it recently and all it was were the screws were a little loose i guess from vibration i tightened them up and again no problems at all so if i were you i would just save my money and keep it

This is the problem. If you try and run anything under 10lbs they will creep. That was my first turbo set up and thank god i didnt blow my motor. It will creep when you are in long pulls like 4th gear. Do what you want. They work but i couldnt find a shittier wastegate if i tried. Just because something"works" doesnt mean it's right. For $125 you spent is it worth the damage it may cause?

everyone experiences different things with this wastegate. some people have stated that they creep only when u use a boost controller, which is not tru. ive had some creep like a bitch until i switched on the profec b and it held perfect with no creep ranging all the way from 7-12psi. ron also stated that they only creep at low boost, which im sure has happened but again it is not consistant. i know from my experiences they usually creep at higher boost levels when the extra exhaust gases can not be bypassed thru the wastegate primarily because the valve is just too small. on dougs car anything over 10-11psi would start creeping pretty bad(about 1psi/500rpm). i think its more of the combination of the wastegate with the location of the port on the drag manifold and the one pictured in this thread. they only vent off of the#1 exhaust runner, allowing all the other 3 runners go straight to the turbine causing it to spin faster at higher boost levels where more exhaust gas is producing causing the boost to go even higher as rpms and exhaust gas increase. hope that helps

...kinda ...so where you telling me to sell it and get tial or to keep it?

EDIT: i could always just keep it see if it creeps at all and if so buy tial and then try to sell it.

I still say keep it......and dave isn't saying keep it, or sell it....hes just saying it depends on the persons car and what manifold they run.....keep it .....i almost garantee it wont....especialy with the amount of boost we are gonna run in that beast!
