Excellent scores! He really presents with no significant weaknesses, outside of the PSI already discussed by his evaluator. In answer to slammie's question, his GAI is a tiny bit lower than his FSIQ because his working memory is among his highest index scores, so when you remove the two cognitive proficiency scores from the FSIQ to form the GAI, even though one of his lowest scores (Coding) is dropped, one of his highest scores (Digit Span) is too, which offsets any GAI gain that might otherwise be expected. In any case, two points is well within the standard error, and would not be considered a substantive difference between GAI and FSIQ.

Some day, when the extended norms come out (they're only about three years behind schedule, at this point!), it would be worth recalculating his VCI with them. It is possible that, at that point, a more significant difference between VCI and VSI might emerge--but that might not be meaningful anyway, as both VSI subtests are timed. Bottom line: you have one smart cookie!
