Pump timing could be out a little if its had a recent cambelt. Has it always been like this, or progressively got worse? If its the one in your profile pic, thats a hella lot of metal to drag around with a 2.5 di, so I wouldn`t expect amazing performance. You could also try the power up mods in the How To section. They can really help :)
Some people are like slinkies- Not really good for anything, but somehow they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs :D
