well, VAG will tell you a lot, but i'd pressure test to see if you have a leak
you could have a boost leak somewhere that only opens up at say 16psi, so that is the max boost you're seeing

23? try 26. 1.8 bar at 3500ish.
Needless to say, I backed that off considerably. It's nice to run the compressor-map ragged every once in a while.
I now spike at a meager 22.5.

They have Manual Boost Controls and Throttle Cut Defenders. Without them, you won't spike like them.
Personally, I think those high spikes are silly. I would never go over the 19 I sometimes set my MBC at. Right now I am running a spike of 18.
