Reply:it seems like all the sidewinders have that issue, especially with big turbos. nice work.  are you recirculating of dumping?Chuck Norris was born in a log cabin that he built with his own bare hands.

Reply:The creep most likely isn't a result of not having enough waste gates, but a result of an improperly located one. Adding another one will help band-aid your problem, but with both of the waste gates running perpendicular to the exhaust flow, don't get your hopes up too high.
Reply:Yeah man, the wastegate should have as much flow potential as the turbo itself, think Y to the turbo and gate,, like that you might need  2 more miller 330a bp TIGmiller dynasty 200DX TIGmillermatic 185 MIGthermal dynamics cutmaster 101 plasma cuttersnap-on YA5550 plasma cutterhypertherm powermax 30 plasma cutterbaileigh CS225 cold sawetc....

Reply:i have a single 44mm gate on my true street civic with a billet 67mm and it makes a steady 12lbs with a 10lb spring with the boost controller off its all about WG priority
Reply:I had two mv-s 38mm on my K side mount setup and still saw about 5-8psi of creep.
Reply:R&D or not, the waste gate is still not placed in a position that will allow it work to its potential.
Reply:I agree with the placement being the main issue, but sometimes you just can fit them where they should be.Chuck Norris was born in a log cabin that he built with his own bare hands.
Reply:And many times that is the case.
