No boost, APC never reaches the yellow

I own an '87 Saab Turbo with roughly 180k miles, which I bought used 2 years ago. Overall the car runs great, but ever since I purchased it, I have never been able to get a turbo boost and the APC indicator just barely touches the yellow when I floor the gas pedal. I had one mechanic tell me that it may have to do with a sticking waste gate (he said the turbo itself works fine), and I have been reading several articles on this site about APC adjustments. I love the car, but need to have find a way to get power out of the turbo. Can someone recommend where I should start my efforts to fix this problem?
Thanks! - Gabe
