I have a '93 CSE 2.3 full turbo, and I have never touched the red. I get about halfway into the dashed area and think that's pretty good, as auto software is designed to limit torque to save the gearbox. Oddly, I normally get the best boost of part throttle. I use 97 octane fuel (USA equivalent is a lower figure?). Finally, I get much less boost when flooring the throttle at motorway speeds (say 80 mph). I have a feeling your car is pretty normal!
