Default A bit slow of the Mark

I need some help whilst I am happy with the overall performance of my 1995 classic 2.0 turbo, I find it to be a bit slow of the mark once i'm moving its quite fast, what can I do to improve it.
So far i have added a HKS induction kit, decatted exhaust i think its about 3.5" from the turbo back (not the same exhaust that is in my picture profile). and a scooby pro ecu chip that i got on fleebay.
Any Advice?

DOn't know about the chips, but when mine was mapped, it made loads of difference and is very quick off the mark.

When you say slow off the mark, do you mean from a standing start? If so, what is your technique, revs etc? Has the performance fallen off since you fitted the chip?

yes i mean from standing start, maybe i'm expecting too much from my car, the chip has made a difference but you have made me think that I should remove the chip and see if it improves the performance, overall i would say it has made the car faster. the chip it self just pushes into the circuit board on the ECU.
When I pull away form standing start the rev's build seem to build slowly then I hit 3500 rpm and the turbo kicks in and it goes, but i am losing those vital few seconds of acceleration.
