exactly atm i have a decat, full exhaust, hks actuator and a meshed turbo (no air-filter
) and the boost is holding fine

nope im sitting at 0.8 bar perfectly
tbh (even though people disagree with me) i think having a fmic installed, especially an autobahn one with the long piping route helps prevent boost creep as the longer pipes and bigger cooler core doesnt let the ct9 spin out of control as easy as with the tmic..
i got boost creep with a top mount and a decat but since i fitted the fmic its all calmed down and i took the filter off last week and meshed the turbo and boost is still go. - first hand experience

mate be sure to include a rrfpr in that list as if your getting boost spike and your going by fuel cut without enough fuel then your engine wont thank you for it.

if you think that fitting just a screamer pipe and a fcd will ensure the safety of your engine then you couldnt be further from wrong... buy a screamer pipe if you want one but dont try fixing boost creep by just fitting a fcd
before you fit your screamer pipe install a boost gauge.
after fitting the screamer pipe keep a close eye on the boost gauge to see if the boost is rising unusually higher.
if it is then fix it by re-fitting standard air-box and filter or putting a restrictor (duck tape
) on your aftermarket filter if its what you have or some people port the waste gate of there turbo.just remember to get as much info on what your gonna to do to your engine before you do it
