If its all standard then seems a bit high,not by much though so wouldnt worry about it too much.

Boost is generally limited in lower gears to reduce wheelspin (although not sure how the ecu tells which gear its in, must go on speed and rpm)

mine did the same, i was running an MBC set at 14psi. When i fixed a couple of split pipes the boost then went upto 20.8psi, the standard ECU was still happy & no overboost so didn't bother lowering it lol
