Get that checked out for sure. Should be going a lot quicker than that.

Vid is worthless unless you're at WOT.

yeah even at 3/4 throttle you still should be boosting in the double digits which is plenty to feel a kick. and like some other were saying after about 3500 rpms your rpms should be shooting up much quicker while boosting if you are at all... check it out before anything stupid happens and the dealership pins it on you.

Sorry guys, I'll take a WOT video on my lunch break today. But yeah, like santeller said, even at 3/4 throttle the car should logically be moving much faster.

something seems wrong, we'll know in the WOT video for sure. if something is wrong just take it to dealership and let them figure it out since ur basically stock with no miles

Really hard to tell without a WOT comparison. Throttle response should change dramatically once you enter boost (at around 3500 RPM) and you should really be screaming forward at 6000 RPM even stock. Of course, that only matters if you constantly apply throttle pressure and stay in the rev band as you shift. If you are just constantly at 6000 RPM in first you will be going about 40 MPH and I think that is normal.

WOT video may make the difference. Hopefully that is the reason it looks sluggish.

I thought the same thing then said out loud "boost leak", that vaccum line that everyone zip ties probably fell off.

Looks like it may also be the clutch watching the revs and speedo. OP did you have any smell after the pull. If not its something else but if it stinks its your clutch.

No smell, I doubt it's the clutch. Almost 5K miles and stock clutch should hold up good. Boost leak is possible.

I just went out and did another run, again without WOT but the boost isn't kicking in...2nd, 3rd and 4th gear it kicks in a little above 3,000. I'm going to go to the dealership this weekend see what they say, I'm not going to DIY this since I still have my warranty.

Here is my WOT in 1st from low rpms. I was turning at the beginning and the tires broke loose tho.. That's what the yellow message was for.
