twyatt are you running sequential turbos ? if you are you should have PLENTY of low end power..... you might have a turbo control system problem. if you are running non-seq or single turbo all the power will be in the upper rpm range
thats what i was thinking cuz doesn't one of the turbos spool up around 2.5k rpms???

The car is mostly stock, so I have the sequential turbos. I do not feel any real "boost in power until I get to about 3 1/2 to 4 k RPM. Then I feel it kick in.

Maybe check some of your vaccum lines on your turbo's

possibly you are losing boost untill 3500 because of a vaccum

leak.

Also get a boost gauge. It will tell you what you turbos are doing.

another turbo concern.....check all the lines and pipes. I know if you get massive lag its control issue and a common selenoid that goes bad is the one right where the acv is(think its turbo control not sure of the name just the location).

boost gauge also helps!!!!
