Shouldn't be "wobbly". Could be many things, once you have it on the road and get a chance to get the cobwebs blown out, it might be better. If not, glow-plugs will cause cold wobbly, DV seals an idle wobbly, injector balance a wobbly cause also.

My first 3208 was an NA, hot-rodded it as well as I could without a turbo, timing/nozzles/pump etc., did sound pretty cool above 3000rpm. The later turbos didn't have the howl, the turbo softened it a bit. Pretty decent engines really, just aren't made for the same applications as the big Cats.
