If you're not in boost they do feel a bit sluggish since it is just a low compression 2.0L. Opening up your exhaust should really spool the turbo earlier. I noticed a few hundred RPM sooner spool without the silencer in my exhaust... at least before I blew it out on the interstate on a 4th gear pull... :(

Search in the RWD SR forum for spark plug suggestions.

bigger exhaust = faster spool

The stock exhaust is a big problem. Your plugs should be gapped at .028 or lower. I like the Bosch F5DTC.

Welcome tot eh boards man. I think the stock exhaust is your largest factor.
