    I know they're no powerhouse but have you done the basic timing & fuel pump checks?
    There's a few tweaks that can be done to the fuel pump which can make a difference too.

    yes - injector pump adjustment helps if no one has done it to the pump already...

    also (for quite a large increase in power) have dieselgas fitted

    Hi Tonym9643,
    I removed the middle exhaust box and replaced it with a straight piece of pipe, fitted a gas flowed head and fitted new injectors, it's made a difference but I still can't manage a standing quarter under 11 seconds, not sure how much you want to improve the performance.

    Thanks for your help.

    What is dieselgas and rough cost to install ?

    Diesel gas enhancement (LPG addition) won't make the turbo work much better at off-idle RPM, but it can kick ass when the turbo starts to spool up. Get the fuelling and turbo addressed first. Cost is generally $3000 plus for a complete system, less the LPG rebate (currently $1250)
