I have to agree with bogged, take it to someone that has a dyno.

what you have failed to mention tho is..
Does it go like a shower of shit or is it A POS !???!???!??
The one i had dealings with used to get 1100 k's on the highway
Clicked into 4 gear, RPM dropped to 2100 @ 100 k's and away she goes..
It was a multivalve diesel tho...

Somefinks not right bloke - get it to a dyno!!
Should be 1100 plus from both tanks!!!!
Does it runa boost compensator - could be fouling up under low rev's? IS your right foot permanently mashed to the floorboards perhaps? Is it in Drive? Not 2 nd or something? Still in low Range?
Just somethings to check - maybe evn put more air in tyres for road work - 35-40psi....
my $ 0.02.....

What $$$ would you be looking at to have your vehical dyno tuned ?
Do they adjust the turbo as well or is it just the injector pump ?

For the works, I cant remember totally, it was $2000.. rebuild the pump, injectors, and dyno it like they did in the Toyota Mthly article they did last year.. they got heaps more neddies out of that 80 if I remember...

any place worth their salt will;
adjust/tune fuel pump to the EGT adn ensure teh boost compensator is working...
Setup car properly and not charge you a million dollars.
Dude - just try somewhere else - because the place u went did not GET IT RIGHT THE SECOND TIME...
Sweet...Dude...Sweet....Dude...
Oh man - I'm fully sidetracked now - what we we on about again?
