The problem is entireley centred around early acceleration. As someone else had mentioned, once the turbo kicks it's not as much of a problem. I only found it weird because my previous SD did not really have this problem (despite the fact that the engine was in a much rougher condition). I am going to adjust the valves this weekend, do a purge and see if that helps anything.

Any ideas on the temp issue?
