Get the down pipe 3 inch too. That could be hurting you.
Not true, A free flowing exhaust after the turbo will only increase the boost creep.

So, the SRT4 uses an electronic boost gauge? Sounds right, it's the SRT's stock boost gauge right? It's not the same issue with yours though since yours is a manual boost gauge. What brand boost gauge do you have again? The only thing that an electrical issue will have on your boost gauge is lighting.
Your issues aren't related to your buddy's issues. Your creeping boost because of the E316G being at low boost. It's an issue that is well known and that's why you either get fuel support to raise the boost or get it ported with the 34mm flapper. After 17-18psi, the E316G stops creeping.

Then what harness did Dodge change out to make the creep stop? Boost creep is a mechanical issue and not an electrical one.

.....define "easy", lol.
Yes, you can remove the turbo and yes you can port it. Remember to plug the coolant lines and oil lines...well, just oil lines for you. You may want to replace the turbo to manifold bolts if you haven't already. Then you'll need a high speed rotary tool. I've used my high speed 30k dremel with a carbide bit to port my intake manifold and it was cake, but it was also on aluminum. The turbo metal is not going to be as easy with a dremel, lol. Then you have to smoothen it out with a sanding drum/wheel. and make sure to not port too much as more is not necessarily better. You'll also have to have your 34mm flapper handy to be sure you're not going to overport the opening.
Does that sound easy enough?
