I don't know about your personal turbo preference and experience, but this machine is well matched to the turbo at the moment. The resulting pressure differential with this turbo is really good with this "aggressive N/A" cam, a good match so there is no risk of back pressure. It's not too small, you have boost as soon as the cam comes on, and it's big enough that it doesn't run out of efficiency at 1.5 bar and 8000 rpm.
Some people like to have boost even when the cam isn't on yet, this makes for a torque bomb (driveline killer) and will limit your top power, type of cam profiles and maximum boost (only a small turbo will be efficient enough to spool before the cam comes on).
It's not really a ketchup effect, no one is stupid enough to shift into 4th after leaving 2nd gear. If you're in the efficiency sweet spot of the cam (4k and up) you'll have full boost instantly, it's sweet. There is a lot to explain the nice driveability of this car.
I currently runs a low 7 second 1/8 mile (on the street).
