1ggte boost questions

Hows it going everyone,
started modding a mates gz20 as of late
gave it a service, installed boost gauge, aftermarket filter, that kind of stuff.
Now judging by the injectors we beleive it is a Gen 2 1g, and now with the boost gauge installed i have noticed 3 things:
a) first gear only boosts to ~5psi
b) total boost is under 9psi (closer to 7)
and
c) boost pressure drops from 7psi as the pedal is mashed to the floor and revs are in the high end.
any ideas as to whats going on?
Also, he has picked up a boost cut controller that will be installed today, will this rememedy the 5psi in first gear? With a simple manual boost controller installed, what sort of boost can be ran safely?? the car is internally stock with stock exhaust syetem, i've read 14.7psi is all the stock ecu will allow, but would the motor/turbo's handle this anyway? (searching appears to indicate yes)
Finally, with the boost increased to a safe level, are there anythings that should be more regually maintained to ensure nothing goes bang!
Thanks everyone heaps,
Ashlin.
