I have a very strong feeling the tune and boost settings will not fix your problem. I went through this, and those things do not fix a physical problem with the manifold. Also, just because it works for someone else doesn't mean it will necessarily work for you; I am speaking from experience. Best of luck with everything.
You could always run a manifold like the JDL wastegate priority manifold to help ease the creep issues. It would allow you to easily run a pipe from the mani to a front mount turbo.
But I guess its worth a shot of the tune asjustment first, although I'd go straight to the souce: manifold
"As I lay rubber down to street, I pray for traction I can keep. But if I spin and begin to slide, please oh please protect my ride."

My Ruckus Build
I don't understand why every manifold isn't 'wastegate priority' it's practically the most important part. If you can't properly control boost, then you just have a ticking time bomb. If you ever look at good v8 turbo setups on race cars, they are all 'wastegate priority' in the sense that there is always a very straight forward flow into the wastegate and the wastegate neck is always after the merge collector. Like here:
I'm going back and forth on that, i may end up getting it before i put the car down for winter rest at the end of the season and deal with the car as it sits right now for the time being
That's the manifold i'm considering, if not i may just go Gangsta Lean, i have a whole year to figure out which one i'll go with.
Yea, me and the other two guys helping me with the car have been going back and forth, i think we all know what HAS to be done, but my wallet doesn't have the coin to make it happen now so i'll probably have to wait a little bit, and go with what i have for now.
Probably bang v buck, material costs, and profit... if i'd have to guess
Well LOL looking back at the thread and cleaning it up a bit, we never thought it would do what it did LOL

Update!
Sold my PLM and replaced it with a T4 Turbo Elements K Series Sidewinder Manifold
Had him relocate the WG Flange to the rear of the manifold to be able to access the wastegate easier
