bump, hi I'm new here and have the same problem (well I'm not sure its a problem but)
did you resolve this creep issue?
I was always getting 5-6 psi which was ok, but I went over the system after a week of driving and notieced a few clamps where loose and or slipped off so I tightened those up and now I get quicker spool, and 2 psi of creeep in 3rd gear and around 4psi in 4th...my tune should be good for it but it could be risky
input?

the wastegate that comes witht hose kits is a 38mm turbonetics. Turbonetics 38mm wastegates are known thru out the turbo community to spike. the valve that relaease the pressure does not open all the way. i recently used one on y set up and it spiked, i will be replacing it with a tial or b&g. others that i have spoken too that had the same issue just replaced it and the problem was gone, no other modifiactions done,just replaced the wastegate.

cool I'll look into that. Also, does anyone have issues with boost leaks between the MAF and the intake? I had tightened all my clamps, was fine for a few rides but now I hear a leak again, and all seems tight? I guess I'll just look deeper

If you have boost creep, it is generally narrowed down to a malfunctioning wastegate, improperly sized wastegate, malfunctioning boost controler.
I have never heard of a tune causing boost creep and can't see how it's possible.
