hi all been a while my question is my 2.8 paj pulls like a train up to 3000/3500 rpm but after that it doesnt seem to pull as much.theres no noises the engine sounds fine no smoke it just hasnt got any go in it it does rev to the red line eventually.when its out of gear it revs freely but then it would when not under load.it seems as theres a lack of somthing ie fuel.the turbo boost is all good around 12/13 psi i havent done the pump mod on this one could it be a lack of extra fuel.by pump mod i mean the diaphram turn and the star wheel turn.it runs great i just feel it should go better above 3000 rpm.it might just be me hopeing for too much from her lol

They are not exactly fast vehicles.

I assume you've checked things like fuel and air filters.

yeah all the filters are good.the only reason im asking is my otherhalfs 2.5 lwb seems to pull the same all the way up to max revs where mine 2.8swb pull like mad until 3000ish then it just seems to take its time to get any more out of it.i appreciate that sports cars they aint but i just wondered if there was anything i could do to rectify this or as i said am i just wanting too much out of the old girl lol

Mine seems to pull fine - although I rarely rev mine over 3000 rpm
