However, you can STILL get boost creep if the turbo's wastegate isn't of suficient size to allow sufficient bleed off when fully open, so don't expect it to be a miricale cure for T4s, which must have the largest wastegate penny and even be gas flowed to enable boost creep to be eliminated. As has been said, all air injectors will do is give more accurate boost control. Only problem is if they fail, then you get unlimited boost .
