Default boost upgrade simple question

If I have a greddy turbo kit which has an internal wastegate set at 7psi and I get a boost controller, can I just set the boost controller to 12psi and it'll boost 12 without any problems? Why do people upgrade their wastegate?

Yes if you get a boost contoller it will up your boost and people upgrade their WG so it will hold the exact amount of boost and not spike to 19psi and toast your engine.
