Are you basing your dissatisfaction with tune solely on butt dyno feel?
Here is the link posted by dieselweasel on downloading the software to make the changes. I havent done this myself, but I'd address caution when making these changes to the car.

I have tried stock settings, 3.75, 4.0, 4.5, 4.75, and 5.0. No check engine lights anywhere but the car feels fastest at 4.0. I'd like to dyno mine at a couple of different settings and see what the actual numbers show. I'm quite sure that it is quicker at the higher boost settings at higher RPM but there is noticeably more lag the higher I went over stock boost.
