After fitting the gauge, find out what your base boost is and adjust wastegate to just above stock specs so if it should be 5.5 psi, set to 6.0 psi.
Next, add water injection to cure you of all the detonation it looks like you're seeing (based on boost cutting back).
Get a nice exhaust system put on there. Get the JT 3" downpipe and 3" high flow cat converter (total about $350).
Lastly, always use premium fuel (91 or better octane).
These upgrades should bring the boost up into the 18 psi range and it'll be plenty of fun.
See Ya,
Phil
