Can you change RPMs at which Turbo kicks in?

Hello...

I just bought a 2005 A4 2.0T quattro (auto, 22k miles, dealer certified pre-owned) a couple days ago and so far I love it- my first Audi. I've never owned a turbocharged car before, so forgive me if this question sounds naive...

My only complaint (right now just a minor annoyance) is that the turbo kicks in at a lower RPM than it really needs to. For example, in stop-and-go traffic or at a 4-way stop behind an alternating line of cars, each time I give the car a slight bit of gas to creep up one car length or thereabouts, the turbo kicks in and the torque delivered as a function of the accelerator position becomes very nonlinear. This occurs at only about 1500 or 2000 RPM. It's not so severe that I'm afraid I'll rear-end the car ahead of me, but it does force me to drive jerkier than I would like and I don't want my brakes to wear out faster because I use them to overcome the turbo at very low speeds.

I figure I can eventually adapt to this by "learning" the accelerator better, but I'm honestly not sure I should have to... does this sound like there is something adjusted incorrectly with my turbo, or is this the way all turbo engines feel? If it needs adjustment, is this something I can do myself, or is it a mechanic/dealership job? Is it common for the 2.0T engine? I thought the turbo was only supposed to kick on when you really asked for it- e.g. flooring accelerator, high RPMs, etc.

I didn't notice this when I test drove the car, since I was too busy seeing how it accelerated when I really punched it: much more fun than stop-and-go traffic ya know.

Thanks for your advice!
