Describe what you mean by "no boost".
Do you get normal turbo boost in the other gears?
Because of the way the APC works, you won't get much boost in first gear. The APC basically measures the load on the engine through the intake manifold pressure. When you're in first, there's not all that much load, so you don't get much boost. That's the way it is. If you want to get a lot of boost in first gear, slip the clutch. Try it ... but only a few times. With some judicious footwork, you can get it into the red and it makes for a heck of a ride.
One thing to consider is whether you want to have a bunch of first gear teeth rattling around in the sump of your transmission. First gear isn't designed for as much torque as the engine can deliver at full boost.
