I still do not understand your thinking behind adjusting the boost pressure for a cold start issue?
The turbo boost pressure has no effect on the cold starting of a diesel engine what ever its location in the world.
Having worked on diesels vehicles in the U.K for 10 years and in Canada for 7 years and never had to adjust boost pressure to cure a cold start issue i can not understand why you would suggest this as a cure.
As the O.P lives in Victoria i can not see elevation being his problem as Victoria must be around the same elevation as Vancouver give or take a few feet.
Good luck in finding a cure for this problem and i hope you post up your findings as i am sure the are many people who will be very interested in the results.

Good to know about the difference in the Hyundai glow plugs from someone who has first hand experience with them.
1mm difference in tip length is not that critical.
