Default Boost Creep Bad?

Say you have a 7psi spring in the wastegate and it creeps to 8 or 9 is this hard on the wastegate or will it damage anything from not beeing able to flow enough?

Default

Usually whatever spring pressure is in the wastegate you will always get some small creep above that pressure. Thats normal. What happens is the pressure rises so fast that by the time the valve opens it will overshoot slightly on the boost.
