I think if you think this car is slow you already made the mistake of buying it.

The troubles of a aftermarket turbo car will never end no matter who you choose to set the car up. You could even hire Amuse to set up this car and you will still have some issues down the road.

Also, even if your a track person, most track guys will tell you, all you need is a good suspension setup and sticky tires and this car will eat many cars on the track for breakfast if your a decent driver.
From my experience, the lack of power starts getting to you if you daily drive the car. On the weekends when I took it up into the canyons and let it rip, I never felt the need for more power. High RPMs are a special kind of addicting. But in traffic where I almost never stay above 4k RPM, it got really annoying. It's a momentum car - if you keep losing momentum (stop & go / stop lights), you're gonna have a bad time.
