its a 520 deisel, i was looking for a 525 deisel but i settled for this one cos it was a good spec and price. its got a 2 second delay in pick up which is quite annoying! any suggestions to improve pick up? i've heard of a chip called a sprint booster which skips the delay in acceleration.....but hav'nt seen any feedback on this.

Trust me the Sprint Booster is very popular on this forum, can't go wrong. It won't cure the turbo lag completely but it will help A LOT!
