Default Shows Boost on gauge but doesnt feel fast ?

ive just finished a setup on a friends car b18b in civic hatch, consisting of rx7 hybrid 12a/13b turbo on custom manifold, spearco front mount , 390 injectors , rx7 fuel pump , run by a link lem (full link ecu) . we took it out for a blat everything working fine off boost , then we gave it some and the boost gauge reads 5 pounds , which its set at , but it doesnt feel its making boost at all , it spools feels faster than stock , but only slightly ... cant break traction in 1st or 2nd or even come close.. kinda feels like its just lagged the whole time on boost .

any ideas or help would be much appreciated

plugs are good , a/f is rough but was working fine on another friends car with almost identical setup, we used same maps from his link on his , it will be jumping on dyno in next few days so i guess that will give me a better idea
