Default Boost spikes in third gear

I have civic 1.5 boosted. I set the boost at 0.5bar and every thing is fine until i shift to third. Then the boost goes up to 0.8bar. I want to raise boost in the second gear to 0.7bar but then i will have over 1bar in third and a blown gasket.
Beside boost controler is there any other metod to control boost or some thing to solve my problem?

I have internal wastegate and the turbo is K03. The problem is thta I want 11psi in second gear but if I open my manual boost controller to get 11psi in second I get over 14psi i third. The problem is that for now I do not have 255L fuel pump so I end up with lean condition and blovn head gasket. Is there a way to set 11psi from 2-5 gear?

shift faster without droping the gas in first and the boost will go up a bit in second
