I have no such gripe. My stock turbo pulls pretty damn hard to about 7300rpm. I will say though, if the peak horsepower is at 5300 or so rpm, it's probably a pretty small turbo. Like all stock turbo cars, a reflash should yield significant gains as these cars are so conservatively (see: pig rich) tuned from the factory.
All you need is four cylinders and a turbo. Trust me.
Oh, and this video is power to the wheels on a DynoJet - they read pretty high. Insideline does this pretty often.
