Hmm... That shouldn't be too bad. Hit full boost around 4000RPM?
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

That could be your problem there. Might be that the turbo is a bit too big for your engine to give you a broad power band.
Below about 4000RPM would be less powerful than if you didn't have the turbo, due to being a lower compression for the boost.
Plus, if its at full boost by 5000RPM, you'd have a very narrow power band, around 2000RPM, as it would probably start to drop off after 7000RPM, maybe 7250RPM.
If you had a smaller turbo, or maybe different turbo internals (I don't know much about wheel trim etc, maybe vvega can fill in the blanks), you'd have a boarder powerband, although you wouldn't have as much peak power. Which is something a lot of people don't understand. Peak power isn't everything!
