first, get proper racing tires because regular tires will just slip through the first 2 gears...then mess around and find the perfect launching RPM area (revving up to a particular RPM whilst still holding in the clutch and then releasing the clutch and taking off) I don't know about tC's because i havent driven in a turbo'd tC, but sometimes in my eclipse, i would have to launch in second gear...but it doesn't really give you optimum launch times or total times

Better tires, and lighter throttle under you get moving... I have a similiar problem, but almost always don't mash 1st and use 2nd for slamming the pedal... get better traction that way.

Get an adjustable boost controller like the Blitz SBC-ID that allows RPM and gear adjustability.
