Boost issues

I own a 2000 93 base (185 hp turbo) with 63,000 miles and I am having some issues with getting full boost. In 2nd or 3rd gear I can't seem to get to the edge of the orange/red like I used to, under wide open throttle. If I put the foot down in 5th, let's say, from 2000 rpm and up, I can get the turbo to spool up to the red without a problem, so the boost does have the ability to hit the max level. However, it is at higher rpms, in lower gears, like 2nd and third, that I can't seem to get it to the full orange/red on the turbo gauge.
Any ideas what this could be? I did a full tune up about 10K ago (new platinum NGK-R plugs, K&N airfilter, fuel filter and a Techron treatment. I guess I am confused with the fact that the turbo can spool up to the max, but not in lower gears at higher rpm ... It seems to get to the half of the orange area ...
Thanks guys ... This board has been so helpful with all kinds of issues, so let's keep it up!
