knocking in boost, low boost

My 85 900T has been knocking when I try to get the turbo boost above the middle of the yellow. I've tried different gas (premium always), but it doesn't help. Are there any fairly simple ways of testing what's causing this, or do the problems run fairly deep? I've never really gotten a lot of boost on this car, not like the 86 SPG I had, but it does have 320,000 kms, so perhaps it's to be expected.
I read something somewhere (probably on TSN) about getting the needle into boost on a hill, then touching the brake to activate the switch. I tried this, and it dropped out of boost, so I'm assuming the brake switch isn't an issue?
Thanks in advance...
John
