Does that mean its running 21psi already or that the turbos have the potential to do so?

The turbos in the S63 for the X5/X6 M run 17.4lbs of boost so there isn't a crazy amount of room left on the table if the literature is correct. Granted 4lbs of boost wouldn't hurt and you would probably gain a decent pressure drop with better intercooler, catless downpipes, freer cat back etc.
I doubt its just the potential. I would assume at WOT its hitting 21.7 psi (1.5 bar) if that information is correct.

Good catch on that, by the way.
