Base boost?

Is my car suffering from base boost?
I am almost certain it is after doing some research here.
It’s a 2001 9-3 base 5sp. I can not for the life of me get it to boost past mid-yellow, in fact, I am lucky if I can even get it to mid-yellow. I indirectly asked about this earlier and was told that it was normal, but just can not believe this to be true. The car gets up and goes fine, but it’s not much faster than a regular car; there’s no kick in the pants from the turbo spooling up. I was driving a 99 9-3 base for couple of weeks before I got this car, and I could get the boost to the edge of the red and there was definitely that kick in the pants.
Full disclosure: I get a short puff of blue smoke on cold starts 2 out of 3 times.
If it is base boost, where do I begin fixing this problem?
