I know it may sound silly, but I rode around for 8 months with what only appeared to be base boost. The needle would go a 1/4 the way to the Yellow?, whatever the middle colour is and it was crap for acceleration of the line. The gas milage was great though...600Kms a tank on the highway. Turbo used to boost into the red and then I converted the Auto transmission for a 5-speed. Ever since...no boost. So I blamed it on the tranny and just about everything else. Took it to the same shop for it's 200,000Kms service 8 months later and complained about the boost. Turned out they didn't snap the APC wiring harness in all the way. He pushed it in, it seated correctly and he immediately heard the APC valve/relay/whatever open. Voila!!!
Do me a favour and remove the APC harness and reseat it.
