'01 9-3SE Turbo Boost????

Just moved from a '95 9000 Aero to an '01 9-3SE. Expected to lose some performance. But I was ready to do so. What I notice immediately, though, was how differently the boost indicator performed on the 9-3. Unlike the Aero, the boost needle is less active and never goes into the red (I know about the 1st and 2nd restrictions). After researching the board, I have done the following so far: change spark to NGK platinums, treated with techron, change hoses to silicon, and changed oil to full synthetic. The car seem faster of the line since hose change but indicator still doesn't go red even when I push it. Dealer checked, said all is Ok, but I'm not convinced. I am thinking of changing BPV. If so, should I buy performance version or just replace with normal part? Or might everything be OK and I am just having a hard time adjusting difference between Aero and 9-3SE
Thank all for your replies!!!
