boost spiking to 15psi

Please read my mod list, but I just got done installing my RB full exhaust setup, and I was driving my car and my boost gauge spiked a couple of times to 15psi, but I quickly let off the gas. My question is, is there anything I can do to avoid this? I know 10-11psi is max on a stock fuel setup ,which is what I have.

Port the wastegate when you get the s5 turbo too.

what are the max EGT numbers you are seeing.
With a ported s5 wastegate I would imagine 9 pounds would be possible.

with full exhaust, and a stock waste gate, that boost is to be expected. You need to port the wastegate, and get bigger secondaries. at 11 psi you're really pushing those injectors.

In 3rd or fourth gear it goes to 15psi with turbo connected straight to wastegate (lowest possible setting) this is on a s5 turbo, unported.

Well obviously I need to bring those PSI numbers down to around 9-10. Because I haven't upgraded the fuel system yet.l
