Turbos can be very slow right after a cold start. My 83 take a good 10 minutes of driving to be at operating temp and once it is it drives very nicely. But out of the garage I just keep the rpm's down for smoother shifts. So the question is how long were you driving it around the block and did it get to operating temp. If it did, check the fuel and air filters, the most common problem. In any case good luck.
