If you're reaching well into the red, then I suspect your car is modified. Like Jon and TC86 said, check your fuel regulator...there should be a number stamped on it. It should have a 2.8 with SPG or just get, as I did, a 3.0 from a non-turbo in the yard. Neither of my '88 SPGs are modified and the best I could ever achieve was just tickling into the red. Like said, don't be afraid of going half into the red...if you have fuel and your car is properly tuned/maintained. You could also do a search for the distributor mod that involves bending something in the distributor (can't remember exactly what it entailed) that allows for more retard for higher boost modifications -- this would give you an indication that other mods have been done (ie to your box). These are simple mods (along with setting base boost -- I think the most common reason people think they are "stuck in base boost") I plan to do next Spring to get half into the red.
