Why dont you say hi to everyone in general chat give your location etc. Then put your question up in the technical section "mechanical" bit this should help get a few more replys/hit etc Looks like it has been moved for you.

Hi mate is it turbo or non turbo? non turbos are boreingly slow, it could just be that tbh, have you serviced it and replaced all the filters?
