    V8 mate, looks like you've done the common mods.Hahaha
    I for one am more then happy with the power of the 3l, I know it's not a v8 and I'm not expecting it too go like one. It does everything I asked it too so far.

    What sort of power are you looking for?

    Not much you can do, maybe get it dynoed.
    It's only 3lts, thought about sticking another turbo on it

    New turbo and intercooler would be my thoughts - but even then the gains would be modest I'd reckon ...

    Yeah, as Scotty said maybe an intercooler and a turbo and a good tune you'll probably squeeze a bit more out of it.
    Which chip have you gone for?

    Intercooler maybe, I wouldn't change the turbo. They spin up to 18psi boost in no time, doubt you'd want much more than that.
    I upgraded the intercooler on my ZD30 Di with a fan to pull air through, IMO the fan makes a huge difference.

    It sounds like the same issues I had. I suggest getting a dyno done and boost control. It worked wonders on mine. 119rwkw. Mine is GU7. Did you fit the DP Chip yourself?? I think they have different settings don`t they?? If you have dyno done, they can set fuel mixtures to suit the chip setting. All the best

    Thought about GAS injection, some say great extra power, would look into it though
