I don't know if this is your problem, but my NU2ME '88 SPG seemed to be "stuck" in base boost recently. I checked the APC solenoid to see if it was getting power or make the customary "clacking" noise. Closer inspection of the terminal plug revealed the plastic insulators at the plug were heat rotted and had broken away. With the ignition key on "accessory" jiggle the wires going into the APC solenoid to see if you can get the "clacking" sound. I did get mine to "clack" so I was getting power. Problem was, it was not consistent power resulting in inconsistent boost. I replaced the plug with a new plastic plug (courtesy of Viking Automotive in Damascus MD!) and now I'm getting nice smooth boost into the red. Must have been the rotten wire/ plugs going into the top of the APC solenoid.
