290/300 bhp on standard T3 turbo sounds a little over-exaggerated at 20psi, even more so on yellows.
Our 2wd got 299.9 at a rolling road 18mths ago, that was with a T34 and 25 psi
Ok, the rolling road doesn't sell anything so doesn't need to brag, but gives you an idea.
At the end of the day, numbers are just numbers, how does the car feel power-wise, I am plenty happy with our 2wd and couldn't care if that means it's 300 or 500bhp

the boost control valve works by allowing boost from the compressor to reach the actuator or not (via a bleed off orifice). by altering the power to it, the ecu can allow the boost to be reduced if there is a problem with a sensor for example. the 2 stage boost control switch just replicates that function manually.
I thought boost switches were used to select a different map
Or is that also possible
