you should be able to hear your turbo. and you should be able to feel it kick in around 2kRPMs

Well, I just went out and checked it. I can in fact hear a very soft, subtle sound, like a faint dentists drill perhaps, and there is also a very subtle kick. It actually does accelerate fairly well, but you have to put your foot past the "kick-in" point under the pedal. and the lag time............I'm not thrilled.

Yep thats pretty normal. Its gunna be really bad if its a hot day.
If you want some more power , chip it , and it wont be to bad.
The lag will still be there , but once it spools up , your good to go!
