I bought the car with 45,000 on the odometer and it was a ford certified vehicle, so I am not sure if they changed it in the certification process or if that is something that they don't mess with but I have never personally changed them. I am also under warranty and am curious if that would be covered I might save a few bucks that way.
Many dealers half ass this so they can spend as little as possible.

You can use Torque Pro on Android (WiFi/Bluetooth) or Forscan Lite on iDevice (WiFi) to monitor boost among a bunch of other things.  Check out Amazon to find a well-reviewed OBD adapter.  If you get a Scantool device (OBDLink XXXXX), you can use their OBDWiz software on Android as well.  DashCommand is another popular tool available for all 3 platforms (Windows, iDevice, Android).

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Be aware max boost can vary greatly due to ambient conditions.
