Fp Red Boost Creep PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
Well long story short I ended up getting another fp red after I sold my last one. Luckily my buddy was trading his fp red evo in and I snagged it by trading some things with him 
.
Anyway I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED at this point I have bent over backwards and can't figure out what the issue is.
I have been in touch with FP and we just haven't figure it out yet. By the way FP has been VERY VERY helpful and they have some awesome customer service and I will DEFF continue to do business with them
My boost will creep to 30+ no matter what I do. Here is what I have tried.
1. I have by passed my boost controller ( ran a line directly from the wastegate to the compressor pipe nipple)
2. I have changed my fp hp wastegate to a stock actuator.
3. I removed the hotside of the turbo and had it fully ported.
4. Set the preload of the wastegate to the min and max and everywhere in between.
5. I got a new gasket for my o2 housing my previous one was about burnt up.
6.I checked all clearences, replaced all vac lines, tried another boost gauge.
EDIT: I also tried re assembling my boost controller and oiled everything, but not like it matters because its still doing it when I bypass it as well.
I am really hating my car right now, someome please help me out!

I actually do, I took the wastegate off of the pivot that connects to the flapper so it was closed all the way and all the exhaust gases were coming out of the o2 dump and it slowly creeped.

there has to be something wrong with the turbo...
you could put your FP HP wastegate on someone elses red and see if they boost creep but i doubt they will...
sounds like your problem is with the turbo but i dont know what that would be...
