   Sell it and buy a VTR or VTS. That is the easy solution.

   It wouldn't be worth doing anything tbh. Just enjoy the mpg's.
   
   As above, if you want something quicker get a vts.

   Theres very little you can do on the n/a diesels. Sure you could turn the fuelling up but at the same time you will get more smoke
