Default legacy twin turbo in an impreza having lag problems

recently bought a mint 95 imp which a friend had converted to a twin turbo legacy motor and then blown the box so i fitted a box and all is well, the only problem is am not getting any boost until 4000 rpm and then boosts up to a bar lovely and to be honest when it does go it GOES, but i thought the ifdea of having two small turbos was reduce lag by having smaller turbos , i have not really looked at this as am busy building my track day car. i do plan to fit an electronic boost controller that i have fotted to my other car but nit got round to it yet, any ideas help would be grateful thanks .

You should be getting boost from a lot lower in the rev range than that, sounds like there is a problem with the first turbo (it operates off one at low speed, then off both at high speed) so you need to look and see if all the complicated boost control plumbing is OK (and its very compicated!) I think.

Is the ecu from the Legacy needed to control this dual turbo set-up ?
