Sounds about right on the boost level.
Not sure about the boost controller as I have no experience of them but for peace of mind book it in for a remap.

dont go down the dawes line. just had my uk turbo remapped now running 1.2 bar / 17.4 psi and holding that. totally transformed the car. ive been told that 18 psi is max for the standard internals for our cars.. also upgrade the fuel pump to 255 if you want to be safer
