My 3SGTE is slow

Just wondering why, if anyone knows...
My Celica with a newly transplanted 3SGTE is slow. It has a front mounted intercooler and a 2.5 inch exhaust. It is really rough to start and has NOTHING down low. I almost feel the 5SFE with extractors and exhaust was a little more nimble.
I know boost is low on these machines, BUT, approx 140kW's should be faster than 99kW's.
I think there may be a problem with the intercooler piping where it isn't sealed properly... but thats about it. 0-100km takes about 10sec(not very accurate timing).
Post replies if you want, I will probably never read them again, just write to me at psybic@hotmail.com . Put Re: Slow car in the subject line.
Cheers people.

What kind of boost are you getting? do you even have a boost gauge hooked up? make sure all your connections are air tight... if you still run into troubles contact me off list... ill try and help
