These things can be lifeless below 2000rpm, make sure the fuel and air filters are up to date, then get rid of the EGR system.

Fixed it...

Just have to drive them between 2000 & 3500 for best results, done lots of km in them, as soon as offroad, into lowbox as zuk said.

Just got to keep them boosting cos when they are they got heaps of grunt.

brother had a 2.5 2wd. we blocked the egr installed large front mount intercooler and played with the injector pump. uped the fuel and boost compensator. went really well after that. set the max ext temp to 700deg pre turbo. just to be safe.
