I'm going to disagree with the folks who think the lack of boost is simply octane related. If you get half yellow without audible knock or the needle going higher and falling back, then your stuck at base boost. Simply as that.
These two links should get you sorted out. Personally I'd be inclined to check the APC solenoid first:

I'm not a big fan of the gearing in my '87 either. First gear is too short, which makes it unpleasant to drive in traffic and creates that nasty flat spot you mention as well as prematurely wearing the 2nd gear synchro. I don't think it's THAT bad, but you really do have to red-line it to get decent performance in 2nd gear. Do tripple check for vacuum leaks, and check your timing and replace plugs if you haven't
Good luck,
Craig
