No, the ECU has no idea what boost level you're running. The only control is the wastegate actuator (and boost leaks). The acceptable boost range is something around 9 to 6psi (I can't remember right now, it's in the TSRM though if you wish to look it up)... it's not uncommon for the wastegate actuator's spring to weaken over time causing a drop in boost pressure.
