I didn't mean to imply that simply adjusting the base boost to 6 psi will get you up to 21 psi, sorry if it came across that way! My car is pretty heavily modified (er well by my standards), and still I was only getting 16 psi max, though that was solid.
Before the wastegate adjustment, I had installed an Abbott turbo back exhaust with high flow cat, EricP modified APC (equivalent to Stage 1?), 3.0 bar FPR, Jacobs Ignition, and Aquamist water injection. All indications were that I should be seeing more than 15-16 psi, even if only as a peak and then dropping back.. I swapped APCs with Steve Yamamoto, whose APC boosts to 20+ psi in his car, and my max boost remained exactly the same.
So what I meant to say is that if the rest of the system - fuel, APC, exhaust, etc, is all set up for 20 psi or so boost, but you're not getting there, check the base boost! My car was nearly a full psi short of what it should have been.
Certainly if all you do is crank up base boost without doing any other modifications, you'd could run into several problems, so I wouldn't advise that..
