Threads like these seem to be like buses. You see nothing on the same subject and then two come along at once. In your case a map revision would be the best solution as you may well find there's extra power to be had in the header and up-pipe swap. Assuming you have an open TeK licence the costs should be relatively small, especially if you go back to the same mapper.

In the meantime, if you want a relatively easy (and cheap) way of reducing/eliminating the spike, and have the standard two port boost solenoid, you need to play around with the restrictor size. Drill it out 0.05mm at a time until the spike is cured - although be aware that this will probably also reduce the held boost a little.

Map tweak is the best way forward though.
