Default The bigger the vacuum lines, the better? *slight boost creep*

I was thinking of upgrading the size of my vaccum lines that go to my AVCR-R and wastegate. Right now its the stock size (5/16th?), and I am getting some inconsistent boost of ± 1-2 PSI (most noticeable in high rpm of higher gears). I have fucked with my ACVR for hours on end, and still cant get the creep worked out. My vac lines are pretty long for my wastegate (Tial 35mm) and AVC-R.. They are tapped off my Brake booster and run around the drivers side engine mount to the AVCR soleniod and finally to the wastegate (I'd say about 4' of vac. lines there). Will upgrading to larger vacuum lines of like 3/8" make any difference?

Also, I am running 10psi on a .25bar (3.63psi) wastegate spring. Could that also cause the problem?

yea, WG springs should only be doubled in presure (rule of thumb, not set in stone)

How do you have the avcr actuator hooked up?

As per the Apex-i manual that came with the AVC-R.

I guess I'm gonna replace the spring with a larger, perhaps a 7psi'er.
