First gear might not make full boost as it may not be under enough load.
The reason boost tails off up in the revs is because the turbos are struggling to maintain it because they are so small. They can do it, but they must be forced to do it (i.e. good boost controller).
Mine only peaks at 7psi, but I've got a feeling my turbos and/or wastegates were swapped for Gen1 items. Around the 9psi mark is probably about right for a Gen2.
About 14.7psi, or just over 1 bar is about all I'd want to run. The turbos are just too small. I'd probably upgrade the exhaust system first to make the turbos life a little easier before you go winding the boost pressure up to that level.
Unless it's an electronic boost controller or the like, I don't see it remedying its lack of full boost in first.
As for maintenance, my schedule wouldn't change, I always change my oil and filter every 5000km, make sure my coolant is always to the level and full of Toyota red.
