The 5 cylinder high pressure turbo in the 850/70 series cars doesn't get much boost until over 3500 rpm. The low pressure turbos kick in much lower, but does not generate a lot of noticable power.
I assume you have a low pressure turbo, so the engine will not have a lot of additional torque when the turbo kicks in.
You will need to hold the transmission in 2 or 3 and give it a lot of gas at 1500 rpm and "feel" the torque at 3500+ rpm. But a low pressure turbo is merely an assist and will not do a lot of boosting.
