Doesn't have to do anything with being stock. You can be fully bolted and tuned like I am and still have the same issue. Its the stock turbo that lacks the top end.
Have you had yours dyno'd to see the power curve ??? A lot of people think theirs still run strong till 6K but it really doesn't.
I just had mine dynotuned with the cobb ap with every mod possible except meth / turbo upgrade. The top end was improved slightly but its still much better to shift at 5600-700 in 3rd-5th at least
Yea I've dyno'd it but I'm running a tmic and I was heatsoaked so only dyno'd 273hp and 275 torque. My buddy with a fmic dyno'd 293hp and 302 torque and I pull on him on a roll.
Do any of your mods void the factory warranty?

Lol torque steer in the beginning shook the camera. But, that is quick for a 4 cyclinder turbo.

Try shifting 4200 2nd to 3rd ,4800 3rd to 4th, 5400 4th to 5th then 5th to sixth. I have found that seems to be the meat of the car.

Nice run but you could have done better. Your shifting too late. Power drops off at about 5600.

@Scions4life if you look at the dyno power curve though it still peaks at 5300-5500 even fully bolted and tuned cause of the stock turbo...
