If your BPC valve is not functioning correctly, your gauge will only show boost up to the middle of the yellow. It will not kick into the red no matter how hard you push it. This is a major kick in turbo boost you are missing. If the car came that way, you may not know any better! Townsend's website used to have a good write-up on how to diagnose a good or bad BPC (aka APC). New ones cost around $200. Some folks have had some success by removing the BPC and squirting some penetrating oil in and shaking it. Used ones are also avail, and likely to be OK.
