I spoke to an ex-Scooby mechanic, he says the following is best:

1. Brim the tank with 98 ron
2. Disconnect the battery for over half an hour, should clear the memory
3. Get some weights in the boot, bags of sand or something
4. Get your four fattest mates to come with you
5. Go for a serious drive for 10-15 mins (with a lot of left foot on brake while on full throttle)

This should set the boost parameters high due to the weight, the car should be mega quick when empty, i.e. just the driver.

Some of the dealers seem to know about this, while others don't. Basically if they can't/won't reset the ECU properly then do it yourself as above. You'll know its working as the car will "kangaroo" for the first few bouts of full throttle.

Later.

You don't need to disconnect the battery.
