If the ECU is not matched to the turbo or the boost solenoid type there's no telling quite how it will peform.
What we do know from your ECU Boost profile extraction is that it's not any of the stock images or the 'off-shelf' TEK/Prodrive maps. Therefore wherever it came from it was bespoke mapped.

There is/should be a small brass restrictor in your boost control pipe that can also have a massive effect on the boost control/achieved targets. This is a 1.2mm drilled brass restrictor, whereas the VF28 runs a 0.9mm restrictor.

A 2001-2002 WRX won't hit much above 1bar on the stock 1.2mm restrictor, regardless of what you tell the ECU to do. You have to drop to a 1mm restrictor to get it to hit 1.2bar or shorten the wastegate actuator a few turns.

With a bit of a fiddle of your restrictor size and/or actuator length you could get the car to achieve the ECU target, but the TD04 will just be running inefficient and blowing hot air at anything above 1bar at the redline. Hot air = det !!!!!
