What else do you have done besides the boost controller. I hope that you have the basics down before you start to raise the BOOST. If you have a boost controller so you can raise the boost I hope that you already have a down pipe and intake, intercooler because the more boost you run the hotter the air is going to be coming out of the turbo, and what about fuel. the last thing you want to do is lean out the engine or to get detonation.

someone explain to me how you turn your boost DOWN with a boost controller? Since a boost controller bleeds off air to make the wastegate open up later, how does it make the wastegate open up EARLIER?

yup, and if you blocked off the watergate solenoid it would be even less
