In first gear, you generally don't have enough exhaust gas output to spin the turbo enough to create boost pressures into the red - there's just not enough load on the engine.
The APC has no way of knowing what gear the transmission is in, so the only thing that's affecting the boost is the load on the engine and engine RPM.
You can boost up into the red in 1st by slipping the clutch. It gets expensive after a while, so you really don't want to do that anyway. Don't forget that the weak link in the C900 is the transmission. And 1st gear really isn't meant for lots of torque.
