Default Switch for dual boost maps for MY03 JDM STI

Is it possible to have dual boost maps controlled by a in-car switch on STOCK ECU for MY03 JDM STI?

You could use a boost controller such as the Apexi AVC-R Two switchable boost levels and 'off'
Same map but different boost targets. Unless of course, you want different maps for fuel?

I might have to use a boost controller if stock ECU can't be used...

Your options are Ecutek 's megarom or open source carberry Rom.

I am leaning more towards OS software.

If you are using a boost controller, i am assuming that's after being mapped?

If you go with the Carberry, you don't need a separate controller, you can switch boost maps a number of different ways.(on the fly)
