Regular gas will definitely limit boost...in fact, I wouldn't be able to say it runs fine on regular gas...the boost adjustment isn't subtle and the machine keeps trying to increase boost but the knock sensor gets a workout!
If it boosts partially, chances are it will boost fully with premium gas...you can either fill it up with premium to check (sometimes not workable on another guy's car or sneak about 3 cans of octane booster into the gas if it's got about 1/2 a tank full...top up with premium and call it an inspection cost.
As for boosting into the red...one man's poison is another man's performance. Buying one that boosts 1/2 or more into the red is good for performance but could also indicate the car was modified and driven hard (again, could be good depending on how well the car was maintained!).
