Sluggish low end torque (long)

I just got my '88 900TC (SiS) back after having doing the auto/manual swap. I love having a five speed again, but there's still some tweaking to do.
As it is right now, my low end torque (1000-2500 RPM) is very sluggish. It feels very underpowered until it gets up over 2500. It's also idling rough. And the turbo doesn't seem to go past middle yellow.
I'm not done messing with it and my friend who did the conversion really knows his stuff. I'm sure he can fix it, but I'd like to know what's going on for myself. Anyone have any ideas?
Here's some specs: RRFPR, Grange valve turbo controller, lightened flywheel, stock injectors (cleaned and balanced), new turbo, aluminum crank pulley, new dump valve, all new silicone hoses clamped down, hi-flow air intake, new dist. cap, copper head gasket, new valves & 3-angle valve grind, timing set at 14 BTDC.
