300D Accelleration

Thought I'd post this question again.

You Fellas who have 300Ds, hows the take off accelleration on these cars? I am driving a friend's 1985 300D right now and I find the accelleration from 0 mph to be extremely anemic.

For a turbo, I thought it'd be a little bit more peppy. Once its cruising, it performs ok. Is this normal that it starts off very slow even with the pedal down to the floor?

Can something be done to the engine (turbo, etc) to improve take off? I already cleaned the Banjo bolt (which was not that dirty). Didn't make a difference.

Thanks
