The only complaint I have with this car is the lack of low end torque and I am sure this is your problem as well. Everyone is right that you have to do a swap to fix it.

Motor Swap, all that other stuff wont make any big differences! It will sure sound cooler though, LOL! or for the cheaper road go NA/T . lower it and put some wide staggered wheels on it and your golden!

Meaning a bolt on turbo that goes on your existing na (naturally aspired) engine.

yea but make sure your car can handle it, i know these engines are strong, but ive been told to many miles and na-t is NOT a good idea.
