I don't know where that 1/2 turn = 1/2 lb came from, but it's incorrect.
The adjustment is 1/2 turn = 1/4 or 0.25 psi, so 4 turns = 1.0 psi..
4.0 psi is kinda low though so yeah you'll want to adjustit upwards. The specs are 5.5 psi but there are some who simply put it at or about 6.0 psi since that would be the upper range equaling more power at max bost if your mods can support the extra boost. Try 5.5 and se how that goes, at least you'll be where you should. I have mines set there as well. Considering you measurements were 4.0 psi of base boost, with the adjustment procedure above, you should only have to turn the wastegate 6 complete turns inwards(shorter)to gain the extra 1.5 psi you need to reach spec settings. Let us know how it goes....
See Ya,
Phil
