Default Stock turbo wastegate vs upgraded

Ok so my brother has a WRX with a upgraded ECU which makes it have the same spec as the STi 2.0 ver and he leaks off boost after 5.5k to redline. I mentioned that he might want an upgraded wastegate to hold the boost longer but he responded...

"What good would that do me? How much power is lost when you leak boost that high and is there any gain when you keep full boost at that rpm?" And I felt dumb cus i dont know...anyone have idea?
