hi ive just replace the engine in my truck and its only done 90000 it sounds fine had cam belt done tappets done
cluch done service history new lift pump cleaned sediment filter but it seems to lack that boost turbo ok it sound it anyway
it drives lovley as ive said it lacking that kick when you boot it any ideas  :(

Banjo:
You could check that the intercooler is clean, not full of oil ( from your old engine  ? ), might also be worth rechecking the timing. If still no better fit a boost gauge, then you can see what the boost is and go from there. 

python:
i agree with the above, also put some redex in, might be clogged or stuffed injectors.

stuntman:
Yup been there, I cleaned the intercoolr out, fitted a boost gauge and did the valve clearances - an afternoons job, it turned out everything was ok, but when i checked the timing the following day it was one tooth out and that made ALL the difference.

All the above are easy simple things to do, why not have a go?

eugene:
done all the above but not the boost gauge taking by that you mean turbo boost it does come in later than the old engine and im not sure weather the fuel pump was tweeked i know i never done it so will try boost gauge and change air filter as well forgot to do it
