I didn't read that part of the IPD newsletter, but I will guarantee the factory boost setting for your car is not 10.5 psi. The factory manual says to adjust the length of the wastegate actuator rod to set the max pressure from 6.5-7.7 psi.

The wastegate is properly adjusted on your car. If you want more boost pressure, make or buy a G valve. Go to http://Dawesdevices.com. You can search this site under G valve, or go to turbobricks.com
