boost creep is an increase past where you have your max set. either with a non adjustable wastegate, (relying on the spring only) or where it is set on the boost controller.

can be caused a few ways, common, is an undersized poorly placed wastegate.

Also make note of the difference between creep and a spike. People mix them up all the time.

Creep is when you start off at set boost and it begins to increase from that point.

A spike is when the boost goes right past were it is set and then usually drops back.

If you're getting creep you need a bigger wastegate, better wastegate placement, a less restrictive dump tube, or possibly a combination of all those things.
