My 1991 Defender 90 300tdi is very flat in the power and acceleration department....
What can I do to improve things??
A new turbo? Or something else? Tweaks here and there??
Any suggestions, specifications and details welcomed!
Thanks!

Thanks so much for the rapid response! There seems to be a few ideas there.
I read about changing the boost pin, also about installing a ‘dynamic timing spacer’ on the injector pump...
Do you know anything about that? What I read said it was a fairly easy install, but it mentioned that the timing would need to be advanced slightly to compensate for the early injection?? But that is where it lost me!!
Is it something I can do? I’m pretty practical, but I don’t know much about timing!
I’ll look for an intercooler...
so you think that changing the turbo might be more expensive than it would benefit??
Thanks again, Rich.
