The mic on the phone camera got a little static, but it really sounds amazingly smooth.

What made you switch wastegates?

What size were you running before and what size now?

I had a really old Tial 40mm wastegate. (at least 8 years old)
Switched to the Turbosmart Pro-Gate 50 and a larger down pipe.

The Tial was too small and was having boost creep problems.

Gotcha. Hmmm

Was having a lot of boost control issues with the old set up.
It was all or none...

No I hear ya. Good that it fixed the issue.

I'm having boost creep problems too. I have the 40 m tail with the apx kit and a pt 6266. Should I try the 50 mm and larger down pipe? My boost creeps from 9 lbs to 10 sometimes 11.

I was tuned at 14 lbs before and I would go as high as 19. Making it very inconsistent and tough to control on track exiting off the corners.
It solved my problem, now I'm holding steady at a max of 14 lbs and my boost controller actually works like it should.

I am not as knowledgeable as many others here about FI, but as it was explained to me is that the problem with a wastegate and dump tube being to small it's not able to dump enough of the excess pressure fast enough and causes the boost creep and over boosting.

That's more of a boost spike then creep. There's a difference. Also not even knowing your setup you probably have a manual boost controller too.

Yes it's manual and set to minimum or zero.
